An Alternative Way of Looking at Setup guys
In the last piece, I looked at a different way of evaluating closers. In this piece, we will apply the same numbers to setup guys. Setup guys are always underrated on draft day. However, with many leagues adding holds to the pitching stat lines, they are becoming a bigger factor. Furthermore, many of them are the first available closers when the regular closer goes down with an injury...

I put a lot of thought into those selections and take them very seriously. As a result, they end up being solid choices, but conservative in nature, by definition hardly bold. In conjunction, I...

I learned a new word during a discussion recently.

The once-catcher-turned-pitcher has a live fastball and a reckless abandon towards the mound. Motte seemed to find his footing throughout 2011 and became a solid...
