Default Discussion- Best Bullpen Ever.
While Mariano and anyone may be favored, I like the 2002 Braves. So good and so deep- SEVEN solid performers:

John Smoltz, R--3W-2L; 55 saves-75 games; 80.1 Innings; 3.25ERA
Chris Hammond, L--7W-2L; 63 games; 76 Innings; 0.95ERA
Mike Remlinger, L--7W-3L; 73 games; 68 Innings; 1.99ERA
Darren Holmes, R--2W-2L; 55 games; 54.2 Innings; 1.81ERA
Kevin Gryboski, R--2W-1L; 57 games; 51.2 Innings; 3.38ERA
Kerry Ligtenberg, R--3W-4L; 52 games; 66.2 Innings; 2.97ERA
Tim Spooneybarger, R--1W-0L; 51 games; 51.1 Innings; 2.63ERA

Collective Stats (of these seven): 24W-14L; 448.2 Innings; 2.41ERA

Team won 101 regular season games...eliminated by Giants in first round.

Heck, we accomplished that this year without a good bullpen...oh, well...

Hard to argue with those numbers. I need to do some digging on BR, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's better than the Mariano prime year teams. I suppose one counter-argument is that Mariano's 0.70 playoff ERA with 141 innings pitched (100 more than the number 2 guy, if Google is to be believed) is so good that Mariano plus any group of warm bodies is the best ever.

One of the early 2000s Astros teams had Brad Lidge and Octavio Dotel with strong years as well as Wagner.

The 2010 Giants team with Brian Wilson, Sergio Romo and Santiago Casilla was really good when the game got late.

Sergio had that sweet slider that nobody could hit.

1990 Reds won the World Series and bullpen allowed only 1 earned run in 24 innings in October when it counted!

1998 Yankees were pretty damn good too! ugh
