I voiced concerns about how crappy our bullpen would become in the regular season back in December. I was promptly lambasted for my concerns to the pathetic responses of "Coop Will Fix Them" and "How could you find anything wrong w/ guys who throw 90+mph!?"
With the reclamation projects of Thornton and MacDougal last year, people felt good about the work that Cooper could do with Floyd and Sisco in Spring Training.
Early on, it seemed that Aardsma was turning it around and Massett looked like a sure thing.
So, outside of the surprising addition of Sisco on the 25 starting the season, who wasn't thinking positive about the team?
I'd almost bet that MacDougal is overcompensating in his motion to avoid injuries. He has an injury history because of his violent motion. He's probably trying to change things in his mechanics to stay healthy but it's throwing his accuracy off.
It's easy to look in hindsight and say "I told you so" when something goes wrong.
Was there ever anything that you would admit that you were wrong about - regarding this team - that turned into a good thing?
