RELIEVERS: LIMA Targets

This week, this column goes for LIMA-worthy relievers. There are a lot of high-skills relievers available for 2013, so to narrow the list, here are some filters: 50+ innings projected, at least 7.0 Dom, at least 2.5 Cmd, no more than 1.0 hr/9, less than 4.00 xERA, at least a 90 BPV and a LIMA projections score of A or A+. You can adjust these filters to make the list larger or smaller. These filters yielded 25 relievers--a sizeable group. Some of them have more risk than others. Let's take a look at who made the elite of the elite LIMA relievers, starting with some American League relievers who might save some games:

We are a week into the 2026 season and can start to look for usage patterns in fluid bullpens. Griffin Jax's season so has left managers screaming.

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.
