Bullpen breakout star 2018: Williams, Houser, Lopez, or Peralta?

The breakout relief star this year will be non-other than Nick Ramirez. Not knocking the guys listed but the opportunity might be stronger for a LH relief specialist than it is for the RH relievers, and there's not all that much competition at the higher levels. What he did in his first pro season as a pitcher was remarkable. He could take a huge step forward in his 2nd year and with benches so short these days, he can also be used to PH.

Good call Briggs. I was going to say Williams, but don't be surprised if Ramirez makes a big impact at some point this season. What a great story if that happens.

Agreed on Ramirez that he could be a difference maker but not being on the 40 will hold him back from the first group of guys that will break camp and he probably won't get the first crack of being called up. He is going to need to put together another stellar beginning to the season to be in the mix by June/July.
"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.
