RELIEVERS: 2017 Endgamers

It is time for the end game column! These are relievers who have proven to be selected at the very end of even deep auctions and drafts but who have at least a shot of earning you a profit. They all have been filtered for the strongest skills and solid, albeit non-closer roles. We have ten from the AL and ten from the NL.

We start with the AL list. It contains relievers that fall between an ADP of 502-687. All of them have a projected BPV of at least 111. All of them have a projected command ratio of at least 3.2. All of them have a projected strikeout rate of at least 9.1 per nine innings. All of them have a projected xERA under 3.55 and projected WHIP under 1.30. Some of these relievers have already been noted in previous columns too....

Almost!
