Evaluating Relievers after One Month

It is still early in the season, but after one month of games, top-tier relievers are getting out-performed by middle-tier relievers. Here is a look at the current Top 8 Relievers:


As you can see, only one reliever in the current top performers is priced over $138. That being Jonathan Papelbon, and he is currently ranked 8th. What about the eight highest priced relievers? Here's a look at the highest priced relievers:


As you can see, none of these high priced relievers have earned more than 67 Draftbug Points this season. Are the relievers priced wrong? Or is this going to even itself out by the end of the year? It's a little bit of both. I expect relievers like K-Rod and Mariano to get their usual amount of saves, but there will continue to be bargain closers the entire season. With Saves being so random, it is generally best to look through the bargain bin when choosing your relievers.
