worst bullpen for a championship team
I was just wondering whether anyone can think of a team that won the World Series with a poor, overall bullpen.
Don't they always (at least in the last 15 years or so) have at least one decent setup guy and one fairly reliable closer?

06 cards? No big weaknesses, but their best reliever only had a 3.12 ERA.
01 Diamondbacks - BH Kim, lol. 03 Marlins only had Uggy for 38 innings. Their closer was (lol) Braden Looper.

Re: worst bullpen for a championship team
Yeah, but that's not the question. Kim was great that year, he just got worn to the ground by an overzealous manager. They had a decent pen.
06 Cards are the worst WS winning team at pretty much everything so you really need a "besides the 06 Cards". Most decent teams have at least 2 decent relievers, though, so this is kind of a silly question. I can't think of very many WS teams that were terrible at anything, and having less than 2 good relievers definitely qualifies as terrible.

Kim was pretty good, not what I'd call "great," but he wasn't crap. Looper was bad though.

If the 1986 Red Sox could have gotten one more out, Id Say them. Calvin Schiraldi, Bob Stanley, Joe Sambito, Al Nipper, oooh scary
