Jiminez has been a real ball breaker for our pen. He could have been real valuable if he pitched like he did last year. Not only has he been bad but he also cost us a good prospect. Terrible move. For a guy who has had one good season and been crappy the rest of his career.

I’ve mentioned Wainwright a few times……I’d bet Snitker’s left nut we get him from the Cardinals for a bag of peanuts and try him in the pen. Taking a flyer that his veteran presents kicks in.

My bad...Devin Williams signed a one year $3.35m deal. Not controlled. Would cost us less than Grissom in that case...

Based on the same exact hunch when we got Pillar, and was pilloried for it. If not pillorried, then definitely scoffed at. Include me in that crew. Wainwright still knows how to pitch. It's just a question if his arm is capable. Prolly could do better than JJ...

Losing Dylan Lee was a bad hit for us too.
I swear I've heard our announcers say a few times recently that our bullpen is 2nd in MLB in best ERA, that can't be true can it???
Edit, I looked it up, this claims we're 7th in all of baseball, which seems impossible:

The amazing thing is you can use that link and choose each category and we are in the top 7 or better in almost every category. That doesn't make me necessarily happy with our pen, I just find it shocking. It's funny how limiting pitchers pitch counts and not training guys to be stretched out and throw more has caused so many injuries and screwed up the entire nature balance of the game. All across baseball. They thought/think they're doing it as a means of protecting pitchers and it's having the exact opposite effect. Somebody should tell them, since they don't seem to be able to figure it out on their own.
