Angels linked to Addison Reed and Zach Britton?

I want him really bad as well, I think Reed is a perfect fit for our bullpen.

Gonna be tough to convince Eppler to spend 12-14m per year of Arte's money on one pen arm when he spend around a mil to on Blake Parker and Petit last year.  

I think he'd be a great fit but I doubt that Eppler and co. agrees.  

After doing so much nice work to improve the lineup and fingers crossed on the health of the rotation.  But it makes me a bit nervous to roll into 2018 with our current pen.  I trust Billy, but I can't help but think there was a bit of luck last year.  Maybe not.  I'm still a little gun shy about the shit sandwich of bullpens Jerry put together sans the later half of 2014.

Do we really know how Eppler likes to build his 'pen? He's basically had one offseason-- where resources were limited-- where he grabbed a bunch of guys on the cheap and it worked out. But is that enough of a track record to suggest that's the only way he'd want to build a bullpen?
