MLB Position Power Rankings 2018: B/R's Top 30 Relief Pitchers
As pitching staffs continue to evolve around Major League Baseball, having a lights-out bullpen has gone from a luxury to a necessity in the pursuit of a World Series title.
With that in mind, we have set out to identify the top 30 relief pitchers in the league heading into the 2018 season.
For fantasy baseball fans, think of this as a big board of the position if the entire league were doing a redraft for one all-or-nothing season in 2018.
Someone like Archie Bradley has more upside than Wade Davis going forward, but is he going to be better this coming year?
Let's find out.
