Last year when we actually addressed the bullpen, we had Cecil, Benoit, Lirianio (on spot duty), Grilli, Osuna, Biagini,and Feldman. Compare that to what we started with this year.

Smith and Howell were good bets. 3 million a piece, where a guy like Cecil got under 8 million for four years. That's crazy talk.
Chapman/Jensen/Melancon got over 15 million each! That's Jose Bautista or Edwin Encarnacion.
