RELIEVERS: May BPV leaders (non-closer division)
Jun 3 2017
This week, the column grabs the end of May BPV leaders. A lot of great relievers don't make today's list. To make this list, relievers need (1) a 150 BPV or greater through May; (2) a 100 BPV or greater projected by BaseballHQ.com for the balance of the season; and (importantly) (3) to keep the key names from being drowned out, saves through May less than four. That means no Kenley Jansen (RHP, LA). No Craig Kimbrel (RHP, BOS). No Dellin Betances (RHP, NYY). Not even Greg Holland (RHP, COL). I don't need to tell you that these closers are elite stud horses.

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.
