RELIEVERS: Orioles, White Sox, Athletics, Rays and Mets (again)

This week, the column looks at the Orioles, White Sox, Athletics, Rays and last, but not least, the Mets (yet again). Let's start with the Orioles.

The Orioles Tommy Hunter (RHP, BAL) started strong as closer, then sputtered, then went on the shelf with a groin problem. Zach Britton (LHP, BAL) was a dark horse but he has been strong saving games. Skills to date:
