Can we hire Dean Taylor to put a bullpen together? IIRC, that was the only strength the Brewers really had during his tenure here.
"Dustin Pedroia doesn't have the strength or bat speed to hit major-league pitching consistently, and he has no power......He probably has a future as a backup infielder if he can stop rolling over to third base and shortstop." Keith Law, 2006

I mentioned before the season even started it was a mistake to rely almost exclusively on young, unproven pitchers to carry the bullpen. It seems obvious to me that the best bang for the buck with a small payroll team is to pay a couple of decent bullpen vets. Doesn't cost much, but you get a lot of mileage (and some wins.) And you can still have 2 young guys there as well, but don't rely on 4 of them!
