RELIEVERS: 2014 end gamers

This week, the column looks at 26 end game relievers. These relievers are currently slated in BaseballHQ.com projections at a mixed 5x5 value of $0 or worse—so purely reserve picks in a mixed league. Certainly, you might have leagues where these are not end-gamers at all or leagues where the end-gamers are higher up in the food chain. The methodology should not be different for those leagues. The idea is simply to find value through higher skill sets or strong role/skills combinations where there is room to move up. These are broken down by AL and NL and we start with the AL:

AL (proj.)             IP  xERA WHIP  Dom  Cmd HR/9  G/F  BPV  $
==============        ==== ==== ==== ==== ==== ==== ===== === ===
S.Santos (TOR)         58  3.06...

Almost!

These relievers are the ones with the best chance at profit after the first 30 relievers are taken (and after the first 125 pitchers overall) in NFBC 15-team mixed leagues.
