RELIEVERS: Names plucked from the waiver wire in Tout Wars AL and LABR NL
Jul 22 2018
Today this column takes a look at three relievers who are free agents in the AL Tout Wars and three who are free agents in NL LABR. There are slight rules variations to these two leagues, but they are AL-only and NL-only 12-team 5x5 leagues. Tout Wars uses OBP; LABR uses BA. These six relievers are the most interesting relief names at the moment, but trades have a way of changing things quickly this time of year. It gives you some idea of how deep these leagues can be when none of the six pitchers have more than an outside shot at saves. However, all six have solid ERA/WHIP over the past 30 days and could be a nice safe haven over some flammable starters or risky relievers that teams have active in these kinds of leagues.

This is the annual sleepers column, but let's be honest: There are no sleepers. There are relievers with great skills who are cheaper than they should be ... and that's what you want anyway.
