Detroit Tigers 2020 Bullpen Review: Joe Jimenez

The Tigers bullpen in 2019 struggled mighty. Of the Opening Day 2019 roster, only Joe Jimenez and Buck Farmer survived the season. 26 different pitchers were used to fix the myriad of issues the Tigers had out of the pen. They were 27th in strikeouts per 9 at 8.61 and home run per 9 of 1.57, which was the 4th worst in all of baseball per Fangraphs data. Their bullpen WAR was a 0.6 and finished the season with an ERA of 4.94. All that being said, there were some building blocks that could help the Tigers in 2020.
