But I didn't want us to come in to the season depending on it. It's a shame really. There were a good number of solid, low cost relievers we could have brought in. It never HAD to be a white knuckle bullpen. Pat Gillick didn't white knuckle it. Didn't he bring Rhodes, Hasegawa and Sasaki in quickly? If you're going to win 60 and lose 60 a fantastic bullpen will make a huge difference in the other 40 hard fought games. Gillick and Piniella thrived with strong bullpens.
