The Better BullPen

77smbg9177 · 01-28-2007, 03:52 PM

Ok i know that rosters arent finalized and ST hasnt even been started but on paper whos bullpen looks better?

Braves:
Oscar Villarreal
Lance Cormier
Tanyon Sturtze
Macay McBride
Chad Paronto
Mike Gonzalez
Rafael Soriano
Bob Wickman

Mets:
Ambiorix Burgos
Pedro Feliciano
Jon Adkins
Schoeneweis, Scott
Juan Padilla
Aaron Heilman
Duaner Sanchez
Billy Wagner

*Guillermo Mota Returns After 50 Games*

honestly if burgos can pitch to his potential & control his pitches & Sanchez & Padilla come back healthy we have a hands down better BP..especially with alot of scouts saying Wickman will begin to get ripped & soriano or gonzalez will have to take over the closers role

I would have to go with the Braves. Their top 3 relievers are by far and away better than the Mets top 3. Considering those are the guys that will be used in the highest Leverage situations they are the ones that count. None of the Braves though equal Wagner, but with current reliever useage being the way it is, the Save can so often be less important than the Quality Relief appearance in the 7th or 8th with men on base and a close game. Soriano has been a top reliever every year he's healthy, Gonzalez is will be excellent as a Lefty that can be used in a L-R-L situation more so than a LOOGY. Cox can than let Wickman enter the 9th with a multi-run lead and non-onbase.
