Seth Everett from mlb.com on our bullpen

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

Seth Everett was on WSSP this afternoon with Cliff Saunders and when Cliff asked him how the Brewers bullpen is shaking out he said he doesn't like it and that it's a disaster waiting to happen. He noted that it was a poor excuse for Gagne's 2nd half last year that he wasn't used to not closing games and that the Dodgers got rid of him because he's just not that good anymore. He also thought Mota didn't have much left and didn't mention Torres, Turnbow, or Riske.

 

I do think that we are weak at closer with Gagne being a risk, but with all the other options we have, How can he say our bullpen is horrible based on one bad half year of Eric Gagne?

18 innings. Big sample size there, Mr. Everett. That's why I never listen to national media because for the most part, they're clueless.

Yeah he called the Brewers a 2nd tier team where they would have anywhere from 75 to 90 wins and had the Cubs well over 90 wins. Maybe we're all blind up here in Wisconsin, but I'm not seeing the greatness of the Chicago Scrubs. Although if we had 100 years of losing up here in Milwaukee, maybe we'd get all the first place predictions as well.

I'm worried about Gagne myself but the entire 18 IP for Boston thing is so overblown it is just ridiculous.
