Don’t ignore the setup men

by

Closers get all the play in fantasy leagues, while often time, steup men are left to rot on the waiver wire.

But setup men can be great for strikeouts, innings, and WHIP, if you pick the right guys. Here’s a few that could be useful, and are all owned in less than 50 percent of ESPN fantasy leagues.

Carlos Marmol, Chicago Cubs: 4-1 with a 1.27 ERA and a 12.6 K/9.

Jonathan Broxton, L.A. Dodgers: 4-2 with a 2.19 ERA and a 10.6 K/9.

Pat Neshek, Minnesota Twins: 7-2 with a 2.49 ERA and a 0.92 WHIP.
