When Andrew Miller found his way to the Cleveland Indians in 2016, many people were (rightfully) thrilled at the addition of an electric arm to the back end of the bullpen. Because of this, many people tended to forget just how good Cody Allen was as the Indians’ closer. Yes, Allen didn’t always get things done in a sexy way, which ultimately led to his “Cardiac Cody” nickname, but he got the job done the vast majority of the time.
Bryan Shaw rightfully gets a lot of credit for being the workhorse of the Cleveland bullpen and often has the most innings out of any pitcher in the Tribe relief corps.
