<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">A somewhat more serious response--given the relatively larger number of holds than saves available, I'd be inclined to go with a weighted measure (e.g., 2S + H)
if we go in this direction. Otherwise, the scoring would put an artificial premium on the 7th and 8th inning guys. I'm not sure what the right ratio would be, but it should probably track the actual relative numbers of expected holds and saves across the
league.<br>
<br>
I don't have a really strong reaction either way for the moment. (But did I mention how much I've enjoyed watching your closers flame out?)<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">Saves have always placed an obvious premium on 9th inning guys over good middle relieves. But it seems the disparity between roto value and real value is growing
given that way that managers are using bullpens in recent years. More and more managers utilize top relievers in "high leverage" situations rather than just the 9th inning. And increasing numbers of managers are hesitant to let starters go through a lineup
for a third time, which makes bullpen depth extremely important in real baseball. Little of this is captured using our rules. We chase whoever currently has a 9th inning gig, and do so all year with FAAB dollars. Meanwhile, most middle relievers -- who
are in real life quite valuable -- get ignored. There are a few exceptions (e.g., Andrew Miller went for $16 last year), but they are few and far between.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

is that the pool of valuable relievers might be too big and could simply depress the price for all relievers.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
