Bullpen Building in Progress

I am of the opinion that most of us know nothing about building a bullpen. Garret Cleavinger was a pitcher most of you wanted to go bye-bye. He has had up and downs, but I see his stuff plays up to major league hitters. Last night, he pitches a 1-2-3 inning in the eighth, including two strikeouts. He is learning to trust his stuff… and that is how a bullpen is built, ladies and gentlemen! It is a pitcher at a time. I have been high on Cleavinger for a while but many of you wanted to throw him out with the bathwater.
