Small sample size. You are emulating MASN drop downs trying to make a pigs ear into a purse by highlighting a recent positive success.
don't your eyes tell you they are performing much better the past month or so than any other stretch this year? Ferrer hasn't gotten lit up after his first appearance in August. He's always had good stuff and has harnessed it. Henry, Beeter, and Poulin have pitched well enough to have a respectable set up group.
I don't think anyone is confident the bullpen is solved for the next few years, but there's reasons to like what we're seeing.
The fact that we have a ton of guys with options and team control is another reason to like the structure of the group. If guys blow up now, they can be moved out and not lost. No reason to hold off and hope they turn around like so many of the vet arms we've dfa"d over the recent years.
