Wrong, the Sox bullpen, and particularly Timlin and Embree were very good in the postseason, which is why Grady's decision cost him his job.
Timlin gave up 0 earned runs in 9.2 innings that fall.
Embree gave up 0 earned runs in 6.2 innings in that post season.
Scott Williamson gave up 1 earned run in 8 innings.
Try thinking a little deeper.
