IronPigs Welcome Relief

Starters Josh Johnson, Hideki Kuroda and Francisco Liriano collectively breathed a sigh of relief following the supplemental draft. As has been well documented, IronPig starters have been asked to go deep into ballgames due to a lack of quality relief and/or innings. That should not be the case in 2011 with returning closer Jonathan Paplebon bolstered by the return of former IronPig closer Matt Capps and the addition of Sean Burnett. For the first time in recent memory the Pig's Pen should be a strength rather than a liability.
