Detroit Tigers general manager Al Avila did wonders to reshape the team’s bullpen this past offseason. Avila turned a dreadful unit into a strength for the team.
It has all started with Francisco Rodriguez, who has finished 53 games en route to 43 saves and a 2.59 ERA in 55.2 innings pitched.
Along with Rodriguez, the likes of Justin Wilson (2.90 SIERA, 10.04 K/9) and Bruce Rondon (2.98 SIERA, 10.91 K/9) have thrived. Other effective relievers include Alex Wilson, Shane Greene, Blaine Hardy and Kyle Ryan.
