Bullpen:

Closer

Joe Corbett - This 26 year old lefty has quickly become one of the leagues best closers. He currently sports a 1.63 ERA and 19 saves in 20 chances. He (like ace Dan Hayes) was a 5th round pick by the Brewers that developed in system.

Setup guys

Ricardo Ramirez - This 28 year old righty has become a very reliable option out of the pen. Currently he checks in with even 3.00 ERA and 23 Ks in 26 innings pitched.

Jorge Hernandez - This 27 year old lefty is challenging for the closing spot. He has a 1.23 ERA and throws anywhere between 96 and 98 mph.

Mid relief staff

Juan Ricardo, Anthony Franklin, Brian Wilson, and Millard Wiggins make up the rest of the bullpen. All have pretty poor ERAs so these are names you might not see in a Brewer uniform anymore.

Overall I'm not very content where are pitching staff is at. We have a few key pieces in the back end of the bullpen and a decent set of 3 starters but we need some depth here. At first glance there is nobody in the minors who will be challenging for a spot anytime soon so this will be a key starting point come trade talks.

Starting position players in next post.
