Wonder how the rest of the club will feel after a few more of those in May? Fold up the tents for the umpteenth time in club history? A look at the WHIP column for the pen in 2013 should have been a clue it wasn't a good idea to try more of the same in 2014. And then to add one of the wildest closers around to that mix? Here we sit with 5 bullpen guys walking 4.5+, utter ridiculousness in bullpen construction. I'll build my pen prioritizing WHIP over FIP all day. Oakland was pretty good in the pen last year but went ahead and tried to strengthen it. Johnson flopped so far but Otero and Abad in the mix with Gregerson and Doolittle has been lethal.
