Here are some skills studs with underwater value in the first half that you must track over the second half. These relievers all have shown superb across-the-board BPIs and just need a role upgrade that very well may be coming sooner rather than later. AL first:

1H               IP    ERA  WHIP   $
==============  ====  ====  ====  ==
Dotel (DET)     28.0  3.54  1.07   0
Herrera (KC)    44.3  3.05  1.11   0
Kelley (SEA)    26.0  3.12  1.23  -2
Doolittle (OAK) 14.7  2.45  1.02  -3

Here are the skills:

1H               IP    Dom   Cmd  HR/9  xERA  BPV
==============  ====  ====  ====  ====  ====  ===
Dotel (DET)     28.0  13.2   5.9   0.6  2.24  205
Herrera (KC)    44.3   7.7   3.8   0.8  3.04  120
