We've pretty much got 1.5 guys in the bullpen right now with Miller on the DL and really not looking like himself.
The rest:
I still think that Otero and Goody can be usable guys out of the pen, but McAllister, Ramirez, Marshall, and Tomlin are all cooked. Haven't seen enough nor do I know enough about Ben Taylor to give an educated opinion, but his numbers (in 3.1 IP) are the best of that bunch.

- Cody Allen is a good to great closer and should be the least of any of our concerns.
- Andrew Miller, when healthy, is one of the elite lefty relievers in baseball. Problem is, he hasn't been healthy all year and just started another stint on the DL. He's also 33 years old now, so who knows if and when he's going to hit the first stage of his decline.
- Tyler Olson is a solid lefty matchup guy but nothing more than that.
The rest:
- Zach McAllister: 0-2, 6.75 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, 18.2 IP, 16 K, 5 BB, -0.5 WAR

- Neil Ramirez: 0-0, 13.50 ERA, 2.62 WHIP, 2.2 IP, 3 K, 0 BB, -0.3 WAR
- Evan Marshall: 0-0, 16.88 ERA, 3.38 WHIP, 2.2 IP, 2 K, 3 BB, -0.1 WAR
- Ben Taylor: 0-0, 2.70 ERA, 0.90 WHIP, 3.1 IP, 5 K, 1 BB, 0.1 WAR
