Sucks that Svanson has been so bad. I thought he was at least going to be a decent reliever and possibly a closer at some point. Had a lot of bad luck the first game, but since then he’s just been bad.
No kidding. He was a 1.7 WAR rookie reliever, which is extremely impressive. 60 innings at 210 ERA+!

He's only thrown 6 innings so far, and bad [expletive] can happen in such a small sample. But each outing has been a new calamity for him so far this year, sadly.

I wish I knew the reason why relievers are so volatile other than sample size.

Ryan Fernandez was last years Svanson.

I think I first learned this lesson when Tavarez and Ray King went from looking unbeatable to being very average the following year.

Though I’d take the 2005 version of either right now.

To be fair to the Cardinals, they don't want the bullpen to be too good because we don't want to make any playoffs this year. That space has been leased out in October.
