The Milwaukee Brewers were counting on the bullpen to be a strength when the 2018 season started. And it did end up working out that way, but certainly not in the fashion that most fans and analysts figured it would at the outset of year. Last spring, the belief was that 2017 All-Star Corey Knebel and breakout rookie Josh Hader would anchor the ‘pen, and then a few other arms from the large group of relief depth assembled by David Stears would step forwards and seize roles. Included in that cache of pitchers were the likes of Matt Albers, Jeremy Jeffress, Dan Jennings, Jacob Barnes, Boone Logan, Taylor Williams, Oliver Drake, Tyler Webb, and JJ Hoover, among others.
