A Deeper Look At Lisalverto Bonilla

This past weekend, I took a look at Nefi Ogando. When talking about Ogando I said a Major League bullpen can never have too many power arms. It is due to this that I liked the Pirates claiming Ogando off waivers in December. Additionally, this is the reason why I like another under-the-radar move the Pirates made this offseason.

On November 29, the Pittsburgh Pirates signed right-handed relief pitcher Lisalverto Bonilla to a one-year contract. Bonilla has not pitched in the Major Leagues since 2014 but was added to the 40-man roster. I believe Bonilla is an under-the-radar bullpen option for 2017.
