I'm probably the perennial bullpen worrier around here....but I
like this year's bullpen.
Edwards is a key. Think Cubs probably grooming him to be the
2018 closer, if possible. Obviously, Rondon back in form would
be huge. Let's see what happens with him.
Don't expect Montgomery to be in bullpen for long, but like him
more as a versatile reliever than as a starter. Maybe we get
lucky and Butler is good enough as a SP to allow Montgomery to
stay in bullpen.
Yeah, think decent chance Pierce Johnson is a bullpen factor
sometime in 2017. And, would be surprising if there isn't a
significant trade for a reliever at some point...because stuff
happens.

I don't read everything that the Front Office has said in the
past, but I don't ever remember reading that they called Uehara
a "Magic Bullet".

Nice outing by Lackey today vs. the Indians (I assume he's
done). Five innings, no runs, 3 hits, 1 BB, 3 Ks.

Nope. Lackey stays in and gives up a HR to the first hitter in
the 6th.

I'm at the game today in Vegas. I hope Joe brought a few of the
regulars with him.

Happ continues good ABs, sweet swings, and hard contact...
