RELIEVERS: End game targets

This week's column examines "end game" options among relievers. Relievers that qualify as falling to the end game depends greatly on the format and size of player pool in your league. This column examined relievers with BF/G under 10.0 who are projected under $1 (that is--$0 or less) on BaseballHQ.com projection spreadsheet for mixed leagues (15 teams). The following filters were applied to that list of relievers to get to our end gamers: (1) Cmd of 2.5 or greater, (2) Dom of 7.0 or greater, (3) hr/9 of 1.0 or less, (4) xERA of 3.60 or less and (5) BPV of 90 or greater. This sounds like a pretty elite group of skills—and it is. But it yielded several relievers for each league. Here are those in the AL:

Every week brings changes to bullpens. One game does not give us much, but it gives us something, like a Jordan Romano (RHP, LAA) save.
