Daily News | Don’t step on the shovel again: Phillies bullpen must be seen to be believed
whatever the best available option is. The Phillies needed to replace a lot of innings in their bullpen, and the offseason is a place where you must pay a premium for anyone who has a track record of logging them. In a weird, twisted way, the fact that the Phillies deemed it necessary to sign Kimbrel should give you some confidence that they recognize how much of a question mark this bullpen is right now. They are a great bullpen away from being a 100-win team.
The Phillies’ main objective this offseason was to get the bullpen to a point where they wouldn’t enter September looking dead in the water. That’s a tough thing to do in the offseason because the vast majority of buyers in the free-agent market could use a cost-effective reliever. Any time that is the case, cost effectiveness ends up mostly being a product of luck.
If you are paying careful attention, you will notice that I am dangerously close to talking myself into this Phillies bullpen. I haven’t even mentioned the fact that Connor Brogdon reminds me of a young Ryan Madson: someone who just needs a little bit of confidence and chutzpah to become a legitimate eighth-inning force. Again, though, we’ve grasped at this golden ring before.
