Any additional help to the pulled apart bullpen with benefit the roster.

Pulled apart? McGee’s undoubtedly a stud, but was out for most of last year. Aside from that, it’s pretty much the same pen…

The Rays will also have full seasons from both Colome (1.71 BP FIP) and Romero (2.80 BP FIP) in the bull pen this year.

They also traded Kevin Jepsen last July and elected to outright Brandon Gomes this winter. Can argue that voluntarily shedding Gomes doesn’t really reflect that the bullpen has been “pulled apart,” but that’s three rather important parts to the bullpen at varying times in 2015 that are no longer with the team.

“Brandon Gomes” and “important” are polar opposites.

Whitley will go on 60-day DL. Rays get a reliable relief pitcher, that I wish the Indians had kept. Webb is great addition to the Rays bullpen, wish him success in Tampa Bay.

But will he get a save?

Why would they need him to get saves? They have the AL Saves leader from 2015 on the roster plus some other big arms that close if needed.

His numbers suggest he should have been signed long ago. Clarke has a lot of work to do.

Won’t Alex Cobb be good for the 60 immediately?
raysdaze
Yup, as well as Whitley. I’m thinking there will be another deal…hopefully lonely + cash for another decent pen arm
