The Rockies' Bullpen: Fine as Is | Rockies Zingers Colorado Rockies Baseball
Eric Garcia McKinley does a fine job of breaking down the Rockies' bullpen, which might not need as much turnover as the vast majority of fans and those who analyze the team believe. I happen to agree wholeheartedly with Eric; bullpens are fluid by nature. The numbers of the individuals inside those units are largely affected by small sample sizes that can normalize over a period of time. For instance, take a look at Chris Martin, who should actually be not only much better, but pretty damn good going forward if his xFIP is any indication. Great stuff here from Eric.
