What Should the Dodgers’ Bullpen Look Like?

Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports

4. Pedro Baez– 1.010 WHIP,  7.0 H/9,  0.5 HR/9,  2.1 BB/9,  11.4 K/9

Howell is the only one of these four relievers with a k/9 rate lower than 10.00. Baez is basically Nicasio with control, and having three high-strikeout guys in the bullpen is definitely not a bad problem to have. While Clayton Kershaw gets all the slack for game one of last years NLDS (deservedly so), Baez threw the pitch that really put the game out of reach when he gave up a three-run homer to Matt Holliday. For the most part this season, Baez has been extremely dependable and also has a strong argument as a setup guy. He still has his rookie status intact, and might be the best non-Jansen bullpen piece on the Dodgers’ roster.

These are the four that aren’t really debatable. After this, it gets a bit trickier.
