Over the weekend, the Phillies reportedly added another reliever to their bullpen in the form of Jeurys Familia before signing Brad Hand to join him. The moves were met with much the same response of “meh” and “that’s it?” from those that were scouring the transaction wire in hopes of something more splashy. Having to endure the lockout for 99 days and seeing that nothing was allowed to happen in the game, there was a lot of pent up energy ready to be unleashed at the first free agent signing the team made. After all, we’ve been force fed stories about how crazy the initial hours of NuFreeAgency would be now that teams were allowed to conduct business.
Is the bullpen good enough?
