Best Bullpen In The MLB

[Elite]

Looked like Philly was gonna run away with the rotation one so I figured I'd post this one now.

My homer opinion is the Yankees here. The best closer to ever do it, K-Rob was the best set-up man last season, Rafael Soriano struggled a bit last year but he had a good second half and he can be dominant, and Joba was finally starting to come around as a reliever last season before he had to have TJS. His velocity was back and he was able to consistently throw his slider for strikes which he's never been able to do.

Braves are freaking vicious
i'll take their 2 left handed studs and monster closer narrowly over the yankees

With Hideki Okajima in the fold, I think it's the Yanks. Braves with one more season might top us, though.

The Braves are vicious until their arms collectively fall off in a year or two..

Braves.

Yankees could easily overtake that depending on Soriano. And the Rangers are too much of an if with Feliz moving to the Rotation.

Braves or Yankees. Both have shutdown arms in the back of the pen that shorten games.

I was surprised you put the Indians in the poll though (even though they deserve it imo). If you look at the base stat of just bullpen ERA they look middle of the road (mainly because of Chad Durbin and September call ups who got a lot of looks), but they have some of the best collection of core relievers. Have some of the best bullpen arms coming up through the minor leagues, as well.

Braves. I know Yankees have Mo there, but there was a stretch last year where game in and game out, it was basically over by the 6th inning with the braves. Scares me more than the Yankees.
