Without looking at the stats, rank these relievers: 

Post#1 » by RustInPeace » Tue May 26, 2009 2:11 am

Grilli('07), Lyon('09), Todd Jones ('08), Rodney ('08) and Fossum('08) in ERA. Try to use your memory on how much they sucked instead of baseball-reference ;)


I was pretty surprised at who's the best/worst out of these.

Dear god they were all awful.

Without looking at stats:

1) Grilli
2) Lyons
2) Rodney
3) Jones
4) Fossum

From "best" to worst.

But that was a tough list to make.

It's like trying to award the ugliest woman contest..... sure you can rank them, but they're all still ugly.

I'd probably say Grilli, Lyon, Fossum, Jones, Rodney.

1. Grilli
2. Jones
3. Fossum
4. Lyon
5. Rodney

You just can't have Rodney anywhere else but last. And based on what Lyon was supposed to do for us, he has to be 3 or 4.

For those who haven't checked:

1. Jason Grilli (4.74)
2. Fernando Rodney (4.91)
3. Todd Jones (4.97)
4. Casey Fossum (5.66)
5. Brandon Lyon (5.70)


Oddly enough, I hate Grilli more than Fossum and Lyon. I guess my memory is bad enough to think someone is actually worse than that piece of **** Lyon.

Well, I was right about which was "best" and which was second best (though I put two on the same level, one was worse).

Overall, just move one person from second to last and I've got it exactly right. Not bad.
