Matt Klentak and the Phillies finally make solid moves to bolster the bullpen. The acquisition of Workman and Hembree adds much needed consistency to your bullpen. Workman had a 1.88 ERA across 71.2 innings for Boston last year and Hembree: 3.86 ERA across 39.2 innings. Workman has closer experience if Girardi wants to knock Neris down to the set-up spot.
Once D rob and Ranger Suarez come back that gives you a decent bullpen you can work it. Til then, lets hope these two guys can hold the fort
