The Jays bullpen last year shouldn't have been a #### show on paper. Easy to blame management now with the use of hindsight.
Osuna had an amazing 2015 and was the closer
Cecil was one of the best relievers in baseball for most of 2015
Storen had a tough 2nd half in 2015 but had a solid track record going back 5 or 6 years
On paper that should have been a solid back end of the bullpen
2 of those guys are primarily to blame for most of those blown games in early 2016 and I don't think many people would have predicted that.
Who would have guessed that rule 5 draftee Biagini would be a better bullpen arm than Storen or Cecil for the first few months? Nobody really even mentioned him going into last season.
