Bullpens are volatile by nature and the Phillies are no exception. They carry some of the nastiest stuff in all of baseball but also some command questions.
We see what the successes look like with their high upside swings. José Alvarado is the best left-handed reliever in the National League. Jeff Hoffman finished in the top 15 in fWAR by a reliever.

Dave Dombrowski has taken chances on all of these guys and more.
