Just because other teams' bullpens are stinking up the joint doesn't mean it's OK for Chicago's.
These guys will surely pitch better, but if you know this group, you know they've always had issues. Strop and Rondon are a mess. Grimm is awful. When you have three mentally fragile guys in your bullpen, that's not a good thing.
They will pitch better, but I just don't think the Cubs can count on a lot of these guys.
What's surprising is guys like Montgomery and Edwards Jr have also struggled.
