Sure you can say its basic math but bullpen is the position where the most deadline transactions happen, obviously I want pen improvement. We're riding 3 guys heavy (4 if you include Latz, but ideally he can be a long man). It's not just a one game issue either, abilities to keep traffic off the bases late in games has been an issue all year in close games.
I don't care about the ring 2 years ago in the context of the bullpen today, but if you want that, that's a bullpen that we added to at the deadline with Stratton and Champan, to a Will Smith and Brock Burke who were good pre-trade deadline, and Leclerc was a 1.2 WAR reliever with a sub-3.0 ERA (which probably only Latz has an ability to sniff this year). He legitimately had a great year and Sborz went from an over 5 ERA pitcher to sub-1 in the playoffs.
I'd just love for us to have more options in the pen so we don't have to see Luke Jackson, Jacob Webb, and Boushley the day after we roll our A guys (Martin, Milner, Garcia). Maybe the answer is Sborz or Gray kicking Kumar/Leiter to be a one inning guy, I don't know. But its a thin pen as we go into probably needing to go 40-27
