MLB Bullpens
2021 Solds Rankings ā June Update
Iām all about making changes if they move the fantasy game forward. I think an easy way to do that is with reworking how we evaluate relievers. A couple of months back, I wrote, Saves ā Can We Do Better? I detailed the wonky history of closers, the massive levels of turnover at the position, Read More!

2021: The Closer Grid, Week 9
I believe all fantasy baseball leagues should move on toĀ SoldsĀ (saves + holds). I know most donāt buy that line of thought, though for the life of me, I cannot understand the reluctance to go in this direction (I even went as far as suggesting it might be wise to useĀ Team BullpensĀ last season).

2020: The Closer Grid
The 2020 baseball season is finally within reach. With that, itās time to revisit the bullpen scenarios for each Major League club, which is what we will be doing in this article. A preface.

Should We Be Using Team Bullpens in 2020?
The 2020 MLB season is going to be different. I think weāve all accepted that as our truth, and therefore running fantasy baseball leagues like we always have might be a mistake.

Using Bulk Relievers in 2020
In article written a few days back, I listed the reasons why one should strongly consider avoiding taking starting pitchers early in a fantasy draft (Why Avoid Starting Pitching Early?).

Relievers to Avoid in 2020
In 2019, relievers threw 18,265.2 innings which means that relievers threw forty-two percent of all the innings last season. Think about that folks ā 42 percent.

xwOBA: Relief Pitchers
I often hear folks using wOBA (weighted on base average), and thatās a good thing. However, I nearly always, like 95 percent of the time, see folks use wOBA in relation to offensive performers.

Saves: Letās Move On
The Braves gave Will Smith a 3-year, $39 million contract that includes a $1 million buy out or a fourth year at $13 million. So, they invested at least $40 million, if not $52, in Smith. They also had to forfeit a draft pick to the Giants since they had extended a qualifying offer to Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.
