Detroit Tigers fans have seen some struggling bullpens in years past, as the likes of Joba Chamberlain, Joe Nathan and Neftali Feliz have struggled in late inning roles.
The team has had particular difficulty in finding a consistent solution at setup reliever.
Chamberlain and Feliz struggled during their respective tenures in the Motor City. Elsewhere, Joakim Soria had trouble in the role upon arriving from Texas in a mid-season trade in 2014.
Recently, Detroit had trouble finding a consistent solution as Francisco Rodriguez’ top setup option.
