This team may be like the 2014 team, but we still don't have that caliber of bullpen

We will likely never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever have a bullpen like that again. Three guys who all throw high 90s with sub 1.50 ERAs. There's just no way, no matter what you do. You'll have to find other ways to get it done. And you don't need a bullpen that great to win a title. It makes the games more stomach churning but it's just reality. Hopefully you enjoyed it when we had it. The Cubs won a title with basically Montgomery and Chapman out of the pen, and Chapman wasn't even that great. I would like to see us add a reliever though.
