I think those kinds of numbers (FIP, K/BB) are more important in this situation. It's pretty widely accepted that WAR isn't particularly accurate in evaluating relievers.

Oh, I tend to agree.

So BRL sent me a queue of picks, but his first two choices are relievers. He can't want another reliever after getting Benitez, right?

He might. I'm thinking about carrying as many as nine relievers.

Actually, his list is nonsensical if he doesn't want more than one.

The main reason I took him is I feel like we are getting to the point were chud will actually take him.

I messed the header up. We're actually still on round 19.

There are only 60 picks left though.

Who would have thought CHUD would be the one to kill the dream of getting to round 20 tonight

He's reeling from Trot Nixon getting picked.

I'm running to the store, but in case he shows up and picks, I should be back in 15-20 minutes.
