The San Francisco Giants are making a lot of bets on their bullpen. They are betting on the health of both Mark Melancon and Will Smith.
They are betting on the continued effectiveness of Sam Dyson. Similarly, the Giants are betting on Cory Gearrin to continue to outperform his peripheral numbers. And, they are betting on Hunter Strickland to not throw baseballs at Bryce Harper.
Beyond these bets, the Giants are putting a lot of faith into their farm system to create some bullpen depth.
