Well reiterating an opinion over n over doesn’t make it fact. Usually facts n numbers tell the story. The fact is this bullpen on paper is weaker than last year’s. Could those things change,yea if we get some decent arms to change. Getting no one or some low hanging fruit more than likely won’t do it. There is no guarantee that this rotation gives us any more innings than last year’s. In fact history would suggest they will pitch less innings. I doubt the returning bullpen guys will improve that much, in fact they may regress. Yea I guess you can hope they do better and if they manage too, one can pounce upon that as having some great knowledge but saying that would be just as wrong as saying MO is a genius when one of his low hanging fruit guys does good. Baseball is a numbers and statistics game. Sure there are a few intangibles that you can’t really measure by numbers but most of the time, history n numbers don’t lie.
