Bullpen's Leveraged Runs Saved
Using Leverage Index and getting Leveraged Runs Saved. The formula is (5.75 (4.75 for relievers)-ERA)*(IP/9)*(LI). One minor change, instead of ERA I'm using tRA (minus -.35 to set it on a ERA scale), so in reality it's 4.75-tRA* (IP/9)*LI. All relievers with at least 20 innings pitched for the Rays (and weren't waived) are included:
| Pitcher | IP | tRA | pLI | LRS |
| Balfour | 58.3 | 2.08 | 1.26 | 24.65 |
| Howell | 89.3 | 3.68 | 1.26 | 17.75 |
| Wheeler | 66.3 | 4.72 | 1.72 | 4.81 |
| Miller | 43.3 | 4.79 | 0.84 | 1.25 |
| Percival | 45.7 | 5.59 | 1.8 | -4.48 |
| Hammel | 78.3 | 6.19 | 0.73 | -6.92 |
Interestingly I decided to run the numbers for Huston Street (22.58) and Kevin Gregg (20.32) and neither touch Balfour despite having higher pLIs. J.P. Howell was the only other Ray with double digit LRS. Dan Wheeler/Trever Miller were passable. Jason Hammel is disgustingly bad, yuck. Who wants to start a "Jason Hammel's DFA Date" pool? Or perhaps "Traded for cash" pool.

So you're saying...
Gregg would be # 2 in the pen and Troy Percival really sucks

What have you done for me lately
Wheels had a great 1st half, that we all agreed he couldn’t sustain. He regressed and his end of year numbers are respectable and expectable. Hopefully next year he mixes the good with the bad throughout the year instead of just shitting the bed at the end.
Anyway, as I was lying in the puddle, I think I may have found
a way for us to get Bonds and Griffey, and we wouldn't have to give up
that much.

Is a more homogenous mixture of shit and diamonds preferable to separate containers of shit and diamonds?

Some hope for Percival.
Maybe Percival will realize that it is the right decision for him as well.
This.

Hammel traded for cash
Sounds about right. I’ll guess March 17.
Vogt early, Vogt often.

How about showing the un-leverage numbers in addition to the leveraged numbers...?
