That's a legitimate concern because outside of Marmol and Heilman, our bullpen hasn't proven in the past that it can be excellent.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yes, we have a right to be concerned.

The main problem is that it's really hard to predict bullpen success. The vast majority of pen pitchers are in the pen because they're not good enough to be starters, so you're dealing with fringe major-leaguers.

And for some reason, relievers tend to put up erratic numbers from season to season; one of the reasons the Rays went to the Series last year was because, for no obvious reason, their bullpen guys had a great year (the year before, they'd completely sucked). Same thing for the '05 WSox.

It's kind of frightening.
But Lou isn't doing himself any favors with his knee-jerk reactions.
There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
