2. The bullpen as a whole has struggled.

I agree Barzilla, but you have to look at the bright side ..

Rick White has been perfect so far with a 0.00 ERA coming out of the bullpen in a few appearances so far this season. He might be a huge weapon for us all season. Many felt he didn't even belong on the team during Spring Training, but fact is, he's been pitching the best out of any reliever for the Astros right now. Rick White deserves some major-props at the very least ...

Dan THE MAN Wheeler might be a legitimate closer now that he is given the chance. 1-1 in saves converted.

I'm starting to see some positives in the Astros bullpen as I type this. We'll see what happens over time.

I also think the Astros have plenty of young arms on their team or in the minor leagues, who can succeed as a " very good " reliever out of the bullpen. Both in long relief and middle relief.
