Good Ratio Life Preserver

After the Dodgers dealt reliever Danys Baez to the Braves, the team announced RHP Brett Tomko would be moved to the bullpen.

As he resisted the same move the prior year with the San Francisco Giants, no one knew how well he would adapt. (Although I sensed possible success. I picked him up following the scramble for a closer after the 2005 Benitez injury and LaTroy hawkins implosion.)

Even Darwin would say he done adapted magnificiently.

In 10 games covering 10 innings, Brett Tomko has a 0.90 ERA and a 0.70 WHIP to go with two wins and 9 strikeouts.

If your team is in need of ratio preservation over the final quarter of the season or your team is projected to go over the maximum innings allowed and you need to shed starters, then Brett Tomko is your man.

And he is likely available in all leagues not containing any of his family members.
