Bullpen is gonna be pretty good
Hermanson, Coffey, Weathers, Stanton and the youngster Bray. I like the veteran presence, the fact that they get in there and they get guys out.

Re: Bullpen is gonna be pretty good
It will be an improvement from the pen last year but I'm still not liking it.

Re: Bullpen is gonna be pretty good
If the Reds are counting on 180-200IP combined from Hermanson, Stanton & Cormier - it's going to be a long, long season.

Re: Bullpen is gonna be pretty good
Still no real stoppers in there. Bray and Coffey have potential, but that's about it. Veteran moxie only gets you so far.

Re: Bullpen is gonna be pretty good
seeing as Hermanson, Weathers and Stanton are likely to suck ... I hope the Reds are hedging their bet with Burton and others.

Re: Bullpen is gonna be pretty good
If Hamilton's the real thing, then all of a sudden it's no longer the offense that's the team's Achilles' heel, it's the bullpen, by a mile.

Re: Bullpen is gonna be pretty good
Don't leave out Burton and Salmon... I think they could make an immediate impact...

This bullpen has the potential to be a little better than last year's at a higher price. |

Re: Bullpen is gonna be pretty good
1.) Todd Coffey, Bill Bray, Jared Burton, Brad Salmon, David Weathers, Matt Belisle/Kirk Saarloos, and Mike Stanton is a decent bullpen.
2.) Todd Coffey, Bill Bray, Rheal Cormier, Dustin Hermanson, David Weathers, Mike Stanton, and Gary Majewski is a bad bullpen. Let's hope Krivsky/Narron choose the first option. |

And while Burton is interesting, he's the very definition of unproven. Really there's one (1) lock to perform out of the bullpen this year--Coffey. That's it. We know he can retire MLB hitters. The rest is all speculation. |
