Bullpens? Not breaking it down because I don't think it needs to be broken down. Suffice it to say: Maness/Choate/Siegrist/Martinez/Rosenthal > Coleman/Bueno/Herrera/Davis/Collins/Crow/Holland Advantage: Royals
Let me break it down so you can understand what you're saying is completely irrational.
Closers
All star Greg Holland
1.21ERA 0.87 WHIP 18BB's103SO's 47 SVS 3.1 WAR 3BLSV's
Trevor Rosenthal[/b]
2.66 ERA 1.10 WHIP 20BB's 108 SO's 29 hld's 1.4 WAR
Advantage Royals: Greg Holland was more efficient in his save opportunities, accounted for a higher WAR, and had less chances to save games considering the Cardinals won 15 more games than the Royals last season
Primary Setup man
Louis Coleman
0.61 ERA 0.84WHIP 6BB's 32SO's 4HLD's 1.2 WAR
Carolos Martinez
5.08 ERA 1.41 WHIP 9BB's 24 SO's 1 SV -0.2 WAR
Advantage: Royals Negative war usually means you cost your teams more wins than you were worth to your club
Secondary Setup man:
Wade Davis (stats are reflective of one full season in relief, no starts with Rays)
2.43 ERA 1.09 WHIP 29BB's 87SO's 7 hld's
1.4 WAR
Kevin Siergest
0.45 ERA 0.88WHIP 18BB's 50SO's 11HLD's 2.0 WAR
Advantage: Cardinals although he only has 39 inning pitching in relief so a small sample size.
Secondary Setup man
Aaron Crow:
3.38 ERA 1.48WHIP 22BB's 44SO's 19HLD's 0.3 WAR
Seth Maness:
2.32 ERA 1.26 WHIP 13BB's 35 SO's 15HLD's 1.6 WAR
Advantage: Cardinals
Lefty matchups
Tim Collins
3.54 ERA 1.44 WHIP 24 BB's 54SO's 21 hld's -0.2 WAR
Randy Choate
2.29 ERA 1.05 WHIP 11BB's 28SO's 15 HLD's 1.2 WAR
Advantage: Slightly Cardinals, but a 38 year old relief pitcher will likely not repeat this performance, and Collins appeared to be in more high leverage situation given he has 6 more holds than Choate.
Other Relief pitchers
Bueno:
1.61 ERA 1.07 WHIP 5BB's 13 SO's 5HLD's 0.6 WAR
Advantage Royals: Having an extra arm in the bullpen is always helpful in keeping the bullpen fresh
Overall Advantage: Royals
Best closer, 3 potential setup man to go to at any time during the long season if one is not getting the job done effectively. Two extra arms also adds depth to the bullpen. Don't forget the Royals had the best bullpen in the MLB last season with the lowest ERA

Someone in this thread needs to get laid.

Nikki...I'll take my chances with Rosenthal and crew. I like Holland, but considering the fact that Rosenthal wasn't even a closer until the end of the season, I'll take my chances with him knowing his role going into the season.
