RELIEVERS: 20 LIMA options for 2020

Last year, this column provided 20 LIMA targets just by filtering projections as follows: a 100 BPV or better, a 3.50 xERA or better, a 9.0 Dom, 3.0 Cmd ratio and 1.0 HR/9 or better, a mixed league $15 amount under $10, and an ADP higher than 250. This year, these filters yield 10 relievers:
