Speaking of bullpens... I am at the current date in my game, and my bullpen just makes me want to puke. My bullpen ERA is 5.29 (#13 in NL). We have 18 wins and just 4 saves as a team. We are winning the blowouts and losing anything that is close.

Gregerson has been good. Tuivalala has been decent and Holland has been ok since joining the club. Norris has been 4.00 ERA tolerable. Lyons, Leone, Cecil, and Bowman have been horrible. I mean 9.00 ERA bad. I have to do something to save my keyboard and mouse from more abuse.

Lyons is out of options and I am tempted to throw him on waivers in order to bring up Sherriff. Leone can be optioned to bring up Hicks. Cecil will likely refuse the DFA and he would clear waivers, so my only solution for him is to eat $22 million. Maybe I can find someone to trade? Stop laughing.

I am mostly here to whine, but I would like to hear about your experiences with some of these guys and who in the organization has been successful in your bullpen.

No need to tell me to go trade for Colome. I have already thought about that. Tampa will give me Colome for Cecil, Leone, AA SP Jake Woodford, and $2.5 million. What am I waiting for? I have no idea.
