Part of the reason the A’s bullpen looked so strong entering this season was because of its flexibility.
Even with closer Sean Doolittle injured, Oakland appeared to have the depth to adjust on the fly should things go wrong. Besides adding two-time All-Star Tyler Clippard, the A’s brought back Ryan Cook, Dan Otero, Eric O’Flaherty and Fernando Abad, an interchangeable core that’s shown in the past it can get the job done in the late innings.
Through 25 games in 2015, it’s obvious that things have strayed off course for the A’s relief corps.
