RELIEVERS: Value for an end game buck

In the days of COVID-19 and MLB's delayed start to the season, we press on with columns, understanding that changing circumstances may alter strategies, leagues and plans. This column looks at the relievers listed on BaseballHQ.com for $1 or less in a 15-team mixed league. They are broken into three categories: (1) five or more projected saves; (2) under five saves, but BPV at or over 140; and (3) under five saves, BPV under 140, but interesting nonetheless.

Here are the relievers projected for five or more saves yet at or under $1 in value (ranked by ADP):
