Some of the guys pitched well at the end of last year.
Joel had a sub 4.00 ERA last year. Rivera had posted a sub 4.00 ERA each of the last two years. Beimel was a reliable addition.
it just all blew up in our face.
In my world, Hanrahan would have started the season in AAA. I think I coined the combo phrases "Bad Saul" and "Good Saul" in this forum and I would have expected that to continue. Biemel was available into the spring so no one else thought he had anything left.
