If you've read this site over the years, then you'll already know my stance on relievers and small market teams. I feel that the cost of relievers -- both on the trade market and the free agent market -- well exceeds the value that they bring. I also feel that it's easier to get a good reliever than any other position, which is why teams (small market ones in particular) shouldn't spend money on relievers. And in the case of small market teams, I feel there should be a sort of "relief pitching factory" where they continue buying low and selling high on relievers.
