The Braves will be carrying 7 relievers. I can pinpoint 5 of them.
Chris Reitsma
Oscar Villareal
Joey Devine
Anthony Lerew (see thread "Closing...Who's Who?")
Blaine Boyer
The first 4 could all be closer. The next part of the pen will come down to the leftys'. 2 of them to be exact. The Braves have 3 of which to choose from.
John Foster
Mike Remlinger
Macay McBride
Last year, Foster was one of our most consistant relievers. I know that isn't saying much, but at times he was extremely dominent. But he did struggle a bit much against rightys.
Mike Remlinger, probably the most dominant reliever in Braves history, barely edging out Smoltz, is trying to rejuvenate his career. He sounds confident, and braves reports are confident in the way he is pitching. As always Mike is more effective against righties than leftys.
Macay McBride, like Foster, has a bit of trouble facing rightys'. However, he does have the stuff to be a future closer.He is effective in pressure situations which is always good to have in your bullpen.
If it was up to me ,I would eliminate Foster. I would want as less people as possible from last year's bullpen to carry over to this years. Just to get the bad taste from out of it's mouth.
