[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1472074, member: 588522"] Relievers are probably the most fickle "position" in all of sports. You can have a guy pitch over 50 innings one season of 6.00 ERA ball, and he's an all star next year. And vice versa. Edwards I'm more weary on, but I think Strop has the stuff to be a good relief guy, though maybe not this year. The fact of the matter is we need bullpen arms. Like at least two. And probably another outfielder, though I think swapping Happ for Descalso would help. Brach needs to go, and if Maddon isn't gonna use Chatwood, why waste a spot on him? We're basically playing with a 22 man roster now, and I think it's hurting the BP and fielders the most. Get players on the roster that can contribute even the slightest and this team is much more dangerous. Maybe we are limping along hoping we can save some of these guys' eligibility, not sure, but theres some no brainer roster moves that seem to be on hold for whatever reason. [/QUOTE]
