Top 10 bullpens - and the Sox not one of them?

[Lake Shore Drive]

Here are the top 10 bullpens for 2020

I'm sorry, I know I'm often wearing my homer hat when discussing all things White Sox, but I really do try to separate homer from analyst when looking at the big picture, and in this case reviewing the top pens in the game. It appears the article is focusing on the closer and primary set up men for each team, but even here I find it hard to believe that ours is not ranked somewhere in the top 10. We have some serious quality depth. It's by no means perfect and there's naturally room for some improvement, but not all that much. I know in the big pic rankings really don't mean jack squat, but still I think our boys deserve some recognition. Guess the only way they'll get it is by proving the analysts wrong. And they will.

Thanks for the link, like you said, it makes for a good read. I stated last year that I became a Cordero fan. The man can throw some heat, but does so almost effortlessly. I thought going into the 2020 season - at least prior to all this pandemic insanity - that his was the most intriguing arm in the BP. Like the article states, we'll have to see if he's legit or just a one month wonder. I'm betting on the former.
