lol...i thought about starting this very thread today!
I voted Baltimore, but that's only because I'm allowed one vote. I could easiliy vote for San Fran, but they didn't bang me in the butt like the orioles did last night.
Oh, and no Brewers option? As good as Cordero has been, his set up guys sucketh very mucheth.

Detroit's has been horrendous and may be just ok for the next two months. Thanks for not listing them.

I was looking for this option. They should turn it around in the next couple of months, but so far ... :X

Solely from a saves point of view, Oakland has only converted 13 out of 23. The Yankees have 5 out of 15. Yes, 5 saves so far this year.http://mlb.mlb.com/stats/sortable_team_sta...checkBoxTotal=0

These guys are bad but to be fair. Well, nevermind. These guys are terrible.

Tampa is awful but you pretty much expect them to be.
Among MLB bullpens, Detroit has to be the biggest disappointment, people had high expectations for them. Some of it is definately injury related though. Not sure why Todd Jones sucks so bad though.
Baltimore and San Fran are just sneaky bad. You don't expect them to be as bad as they are but they will let you down more than can be tolerated.

Salas shouldn't count since he cheated and is off the team. The Tigers have been killed by injuries. The Rays bullpen is terrible and can't be trusted with anything less than a 5 run lead. Shawn Camp is allowing 65% of inherited runners to score...and he's supposedly one of our primary setup guys

Rays are too freaking cheap to pay for the plane tickets to send the pen back to DurhamChicago White SoxBut oh by the way, half of them got optioned to Triple A.
Besides Reyes, and actually Glover of late, there isn't a guy in that pen that deserves a major league job. They should all be napalmed to the waiver wire.

Danny Baez should have his own option.

Shawn Camp 5.82Tim Corcoran 5.82Brian Stokes 6.66Ed Jackson 7.77Casey Fossum 7.91Chad Orvella 12.86That's 175.1 IP between them, and in that time, they've permitted 316 baserunners. Folks, that's a WHIP of 1.80 :XThe Cardinals would love to have a couple guys with 6.00 + ERAs to lower their team ERA.Told you guys it was the Rays

Orioles did not want to see the Rays walk away with this so they blew another 3 run lead last night in the 7th.
Disgusting.

A lot of bad bullpens out there. Might see bullpen help being pretty expensive to acquire this season especially with a few of the better teams like Detroit, Cleveland, The Yankees, and the White Sox having trouble. Guys like Linebrink, Dotel, one of the Texas relievers, and maybe a Brad Lidge might cost much more than they normally would.

I dont think there is any question that acquiring bullpen help will be expensive. Basic supply and demand here and there just aren't a lot of even decent arms available.Doctor Detroit said:A lot of bad bullpens out there.

Sadly I can confirm this as a Reds fan unless someone can produce stats to prove otherwise.

the phillies are about to sign Jose Mesa to CLOSE. automatically puts them in the lead.

he's not going to close over alfonseca.

But Jenks has saved 16 of the 17 save opportunities he's had. That alone disqualifies them.

the phillies bullpen allowed 11 runs to the kansas city freaking royals today. top that.

the Rangers bullpen allowed a home run to Craig Counsell. First of the year for him. Number 32 in his 12-year career.

The Phils gave up a HR to Tony Pena Jr. - first of the year and second in his career. And being a Royals fan, I really didn't think that he'd hit one this year. The guy is just horrendous at the plate. Can't hit for power, average, can't bunt...if only you could steal first. I'd still take him over Berroa though.the Rangers bullpen allowed a home run to Craig Counsell. First of the year for him. Number 32 in his 12-year career.

Devil Rays did that in 2 innings last Friday night. They were handed an 8-2 5th inning lead and it was 14-8 by the end of the 7th.

Amazing how uninformed some of the phillies fanbase is.

Shawn Camp may be the worst pitcher I've ever seen in my life
Another solid gasoline outing from the O's pen last night against the Nats.
Chris Ray gives up 3 walks and a triple in the top of the 11th as the O's lose 9-6.
Of course, Chief Cordero blew the save in the bottom of the 9th for the Nats thanks to a leadoff walk and several bloop hits, but the O's pen (Williamson IIRC) let the Nats go ahead in the 7th or 8th.
