The bullpen threw 56% of our innings this year and really that number is higher because I excluded Hilliard, Money, Dutton, and Floyd but Floyd and Money had several of their innings out of the pen. They averaged roughly 5 innings per game.
I don't believe the guys noted above hit a wall because they lacked development, but more to the usage and that's why they struggled in Hattiesburg. JK even said on the podcast that after the Alabama series they were concerned because they were being taxed. You can argue it's the staffs fault for not having 3 quality starters but the truth is that we just didn't have the talent for front end starters you keep talking about this year. Those guys pitched really well all season.

I don't know that it's that we didn't have the talent on the front end as much as it is Johnson/Kelly value a strong bullpen over a strong rotation.
I think many other coaches would have tried like hell to extend Reyzleman, Gervase, or Cooper and include them in the rotation. Any of those three likely would have been an average starter in the SEC. I think it was just Johnson/Kelly's philosophy to keep those arms in the pen and pray your Saturday/Sunday guy can give you 3 or 4 solid innings.
