For what feels like the 100th year in a row, the Detroit Tigers had a poor performing bullpen. While they had some pieces that looked solid, including Joe Jimenez, Blaine Hardy, Alex Wilson and Louis Coleman – the performance as a whole was subpar.
For a rebuilding team, having an elite bullpen is somewhat unnecessary. This team should be focusing on acquiring young, cost-controlled talent in the field and in the starting rotation. The bullpen is a piece that is easier to fix when the team is ready to contend for a World Series.
