The San Diego Padres’ bullpen is ranked third in the National League after Monday’s games. Although we’re less than an eighth into the season, this is a bit of an unexpected turn of events.
Few had this group pegged as more than a mediocre group but, lo and behold, here we are. By no means should we get too excited about two good weeks of relief pitching, but boy is this intriguing.
If this Padres team can stay somewhat competitive through the next few months and find themselves within striking distance in late-August, a strong bullpen figures to be a great asset to have.
