The A's bullpen in the span of an off-season went from one of the best to one of the worst. Did the A's fail in their analysis, or are relievers ticking time bombs?
The 2015 A's bullpen has been an unmitigated disaster. This has been especially shocking to A's fans because coming into the season, we expected the bullpen to be a team strength... and from what we've heard from management, it seems that this has come as just as much of a shock to them as to us. So what gives? How could the bullpen go from great to so terrible seemingly instantly?
