I'll be talking about whether/when you should be using them in the first place in some upcoming posts.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00207020302976740521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6785794903916196345.post-29626162311146762882007-02-07T17:40:00.000-05:002007-02-07T17:40:00.000-05:00I'm concerned you are overstating the value of mid...I'm concerned you are overstating the value of middle relievers and setup men in fantasy baseball. Even the best of them will only provide about 10 wins and 120 K, or that of a moderate starter. And their innings are very rarely enough to make a significant impact on your ERA or WHIP totals, especially in a daily league where you can rotate starters in and out. If they reside in a situation where they are an heir apparent to a shaky closer, i.e. a Zumaya to Jones, and could provide some saves as a result in addition to a very good ERA/WHIP and a few scattered wins, I could see the value. But otherwise, I have a hard time justifying putting a middle reliever or setup man on my roster in all but the very deepest of leagues.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
