I seem to remember Peter Magowan, the driving force behind the new ballpark, specifically wanted the bullpens situated down the lines. He liked the fact the fans could watch the pitchers warm up. I like it too. The fans along the right field line have a little routine they go into whenever an opposing pitcher warms up. Two different sounds: One when the pitcher throws the ball and another when the catcher lobs the ball back. It's kinda funny.
The other factor is that tract of land on which the stadium is built is, I believe, the smallest in the majors. Something like 8 acres. Just over the right field wall there's a 10-15 yard wide walkway and then McCovey cove. Not really sure they could have fit in a bullpen back there if they'd wanted to, which they didn't.
