Atlanta Braves 2016 Bullpen featuring Tommy John!

Atlanta Braves 2015 Bullpen?
Well, it’s a work in progress. Actually, as I wrote yesterday in the piece regarding Trade Rumors, the bullpen is slowly coming together and could be 1-2 spots away from being a formidable crew (extract Jake Brigham, insert Manny Banuelos, and find a way to get Andrew McKirahan in the mix). I do think the trial and error approach that the Braves have taken all year was the only logical path to take considering that almost the entire 2014 bullpen was traded away prior to 2015’s beginning, one being the day before Opening Day (yikes!).
However, it is my opinion that the future looks bright and will feature a ton of arms with huge upside, and no lack of risk. With a collective crew that will likely be anchored by Jason Grilli, let’s look at the future of the Atlanta Braves bullpen.
