Let’s get one thing straight: Andrew Friedman is the President and GM of the Los Angeles Dodgers. It is his responsibility to oversee anything that is connected with “Baseball Operation.” For the sake of this blog, Andrew Friedman is responsible for building the Dodgers Bullpen. To date, most Dodgers fans are saying that he built a deplorable bullpen. I have heard one fan say it was an “average” bullpen.
They are of course, all right because Andrew Friedman should have known the following:
- That David Pirce would end up on the DL for an extended time period;
- That Corey Knebel with end up on the DL for an extended period;
- That Dustin May would blow out his arm and have to have TJ;
- That Tony Gonsolin would have issues that would keep him on the DL for a long time;
- That Scott Alexandr would be on the DL with shoulder inflammation;
- That Brusdar Graterol would be on the DL for the first couple months of the season;
- That Mitch White would not quite be ready;
- That Dennis Santana would not quite be ready; and
- Garrett Cleavinger would not quite be ready.
