RELIEVERS: 2018 End Game
Mar 18 2018
This week, we go deep and filter for the best end game relievers we can. The only relievers that qualify for this look are those who have a 15$ mixed value at $1 or less AND an ADP greater than 400. From that list of relievers, we filter for the best skills: 40 or more innings, xERA at or under 3.70, WHIP at or under 1.30, DOM 7.0 or greater, CMD ratio 3.0 or greater, HR/9 1.1 or less, and BPV 100 or greater. These filters provide us with some excellent skill sets. We break these into AL and NL, with AL listed first:
AL IP xERA WHIP DOM CMD HR/9 G% F% BPV 15$ ADP ================= == ==== ==== ==== ==== ==== == == === === === C.Smith (BOS) 58 2.56 1.14 10.6 3.6 0.3 65 18 153 1 589 Kahnle (NYY) ...

This is the annual sleepers column, but let's be honest: There are no sleepers. There are relievers with great skills who are cheaper than they should be ... and that's what you want anyway.
