Even further from being major league ready are 1965 2nd round draft pick John Dugas and 1966 1st round draft pick Justin Bismark.
Dugas was being used a starting pitcher in the minors up until recently and was faring very poorly. It seemed that his prospects for the future were quickly dimming. The organization now has decided to accede to the inevitable and bring him in exclusively out of the bullpen and the thought is that this may be reviving him as a prospect.
Bismark is a youngster with outstanding stuff potential but who really needs to develop better movement before he can be considered a true premium prospect.
So, in summation regarding the bullpen, the 1966 reality was dismal but the future looks, potentially at least, quite bright. And with young arms already on the Brewers and a great many in waiting even if some burn out there should be enough options to form a good bullpen nucleus.
