A good bullpen is going to be key especially early in the year when starters are go8ng to be limited with the shortened spring training.

 I don't mind the signing. It allows Lopez to be the swing man and make spot starts for Kopech.

This isn't how organizations build good bullpens. 

Jose Ruiz is younger and has been as good as Joe Kelly the past two years because bullpen arms are pretty up and down.

I disagree.  With Kopech moving into rotation, a bullpen of guys like Crochet, Bummer, Graveman, Kelly, and Hendriks (+CK?) has to be best in the bigs.  Knowing your starter went 5 or 6 and you can fill/dominate 9+ outs is a great feeling.

How many years in a row are Sox fans going to fall for this nonsense. Each of the last two years we had threads created about how unstoppable the White Sox bullpen was going to be. The best bullpen in baseball will not end up being who you thought it'll be. Signing RP's coming off career years is almost never a good strategy.
