He dominated for San Diego when he got the chance. <br /><br />With a mostly older staff in the Omar years (Pedro, El Duque, Trachsel, Glavine, etc.( the bullpen played a big part in the team's success and failures. The 2006 division win was in large part due to Chad Bradford, Darren Oliver, and Duaner Sanchez (before he got hurt). Not having those players were a big reason for the collapses in 2007 and 2008.
