Joe Sheehan Chat 7-25-08

Craig K. (Fayetteville, AR): $#@!$#@ Cardinals. Who had the worst bullpen you've ever seen, and has anyone ever done a study of the worst bullpens of all time?

Joe Sheehan: The Cardinals are making a run, although the worst bullpens tend to be on really bad teams that don't get to blow this many high-leverage games.

I ran a query in the sortables...1999 Royals--I think Rany wrote about them--were worst by WXRL, followed by 1973 and 1990 Braves.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Henry ((ATX)): Who do you like best long-term--Heyward, Maybin, or Rasmus?

Joe Sheehan: Probably Heyward, but that may just be because he's furthest away. He has the highest upside, IMO, while Rasmus is the safest bet of the three.
