SAN FRANCISCO (Bleacher Report) – Gone are Brian Wilson, Ramon Ramirez and Guillermo Mota of seasons past. The Giants currently rank 15th in bullpen ERA, a sharp drop-off from the last three seasons, where they finished second in MLB every season.

Santiago Casilla filled in admirably for a few months until burning out in recent weeks. Sergio Romo continues to be treated like fine china, saved only for special occasions. What should the Giants do to shore up the position?
Here’s a look at the team’s options.
