Is it Mike Dunn or Ryan Webb?

[BenderRobot]

May I choose
C) Heath Bell?

Pretend he's not on the team anymore...

Mike Webb, then.

Dunn for me. Webb slipped some this season but I still feel like he'll be fine. A decent middle pen guy. But Dunn is frustrating, for stretches I'll think he could be a dominant reliever, and then next thing he gets demoted to AAA because of suckness. The walks are maddening, not to mention the lefty struggles.

Both were good last season so it was depressing to see the bullpen struggle this year. And it was just about everyone too. It's been pretty much Cishek or else cross your fingers.

I'd say Ryan Dunn instead of Mike Webb, but ... well ...
... yeah.

I agree with this, for what it's worth.

I think some of Webb's ineffectiveness has to do with bad luck. His GB ability/the fact he never gives up HR's makes him at least a serviceable middle reliever.

Dunn, on the other hand...well, idk anymore. Bring back Randy Choate!

Every time Dunn comes out I remember how I replied in that thread that Ozzie should be given another chance...and I regret it every time.
