THE BULLPEN
Masafumi Watanabe-R (28), Jake Carlson-L (29), Jorge Pacheco-L (24), Bill Jones-R (28), Matt Tucker-R (25), Brandon Andre-L (27): Breaking camp once again with 3 lefties, 3 righties to mix and match up through the first 8. All potential closer arms but Watanabe is likely the 1st call for a closer should Cruz tire or falter.

Ernesto Cruz-R (36) Entering the twillight of what will likely be a hall of fame career. Saved 30 or more for the 9th time in 10 seasons (hurt in 2015) and still registers a lifetime ERA below 2.00 (1.94). Has saved 377 of 425 career games for an .891 lifetime percentage. Is the IBL Career leader in ERA (1.94) Saves (377) WHIP (0.95) Opp OBP (.249) and Opp OPS (.552). Still has enough gas in the tank to save 50. In the final year of his contract and we're hoping we can get something done at a reasonable number to allow him to finish out his career here.
