The Red Sox have started the season in brutal fashion, as we all know, and the negatives have far outweighed the positives. That said, the bullpen has stood out as a positive among all the early-season negativity, which is extra exciting given how low the expectations were heading into the season. We talked about the group as a whole last week, and while the overall numbers are a bit worse as of this writing that is largely due to a seven-run implosion from Brian Johnson, who was pitching with inflammation in his elbow.
