Building a bullpen is much like a study in alchemy: A little science, some philosophy and maybe a touch of magic. You never know when a great bullpen may materialize out of nowhere. Take the Texas Rangers. For the first four months of 2015, the bullpen was an issue. It had a 4.38 ERA in the first half and that ballooned to 5.65 in July. Yet, by the time the Rangers clinched the AL West title, the bullpen had emerged as a strength, so much so that if there was one thing the Rangers were confident about heading into 2016, it was their bullpen depth would help support a potentially shaky rotation.
