Calero pitched in 15 games (0 starts) in AAA-ball for the Dodgers and he was 0-0 with 1 save, a 3.00 ERA and a 1.47 WHIP.

Yes, we all know that the Marlins bullpen has sucked this year. Is anyone all that surprised? Not particularly, given the ragtag crew that the team brought in this offseason to pitch the high leverage innings.
What has come as a surprise to me is the outrage of Marlins fans about how the bullpen situation has been handled. This particular FanPost on FishStripes got me thinking about...
