I actually think the bullpen is a little underrated (which isn't saying much). Gordon, Alfonseca, Madson and Geary are all decent. If Lieber can stay happy pitching out of the pen for a while, that's not an awful group.

I do think it'll be very important for our hitters to stay healthy, because as PF said, our bench blows. I wouldn't be comfortable with any of those guys starting for an extended period of time. Manuel also likes to liberally use his subs late in games for defense and pinch-running, which occasionally ends up costing us if the game goes to extras. He'll have ease up on that this year.

Btw, I have no idea why I only listed first names for the bench guys.
