DateQuestionAnswer
2019-05-24 15:00:00 (link to chat)Who are some of the lights-out guys stuck in the middle of a team's bullpen who might start getting higher usage and/or save opps?
(Wallace from Baltimore)		I've always liked Reyes Moronta in SF, but Will Smith has been fantastic so far. Scott Barlow in KC has been dominant. Emilio Pagan is a little hidden in the TB pen and will eke out few saves the rest of the way. Robert Stephenson and Amir Garrett in Cincinnati. (Jon Hegglund)
