While I can agree with this for the most part. I don't think many teams are going to get away with making their AAA roster their bullpen and calling it good.
Yeah I know its an exaggeration, we have a couple veterans, but most of our pen is young guys with no history and no experience. And other than Marmol the guys we do have, have kinda had mediocre careers. I'm not sure the talent even exists in the pen for it to work itself out. Its not good pitchers, struggling to start the season, its guys that shouldn't be in the league, or at the very least, shouldn't be pitching in the roles they are.
