I posted this in mockingboy's "bullpens?" thread, but I feel it is imporant enough to get a thread of its own:
Guys, there IS a simple solution to all this - STOP BETTING CRAPPY BULLPENS, unlesss you are getting +200 or better, which is reason I took shot with de la Rosa and KC tonight. I posted best and worst bullpen ERA's in another thread, and as a general rule of thumb, I automatically toss any team in the bottom 10 from consideration with the following two exceptions only:
1 - The team is +200 or better and I have other reason for liking them (KC tonight)
2 - The team is an underdog vs. ANOTHER team in the bottom 10 and I have other reasons for liking the dog.
If nether of these two situations apply, just pass on any team on the crappy bullpen list. You will benefit financially and your stress level will be a lot less.
