Is this just bullpen related or are you having the same issue with starters ?
Bullpen arms are though to evaluate due to the variance associated with the relatively small amount of innings they pitch each year. Are their peripherals (FIP-, SIERA, K-BB%, BABIP, etc.) any good ? Did they come back from injury ?
When guys are struggling, I tend to have them pitch in lower leverage situation and replace them with other arms who are doing better. Apart from the stopper/closer, my bullpen is usually prety fluid year to year, or even during the season. I think this mirrors what MLB teams are doing nowadays where pretty much nobody is guaranteed a spot unless they are an ace.
