2012 Position Analysis: Long Relievers

            Some players love the 2 IP relievers and others seem to have no use for them. Many teams in the majors use their long relievers more than they wish. It is the dream of every manager to have a starter go 6 or 7 and then single innings out of each bullpen guy for the win. Teams with bad starters need to have bullpens who can carry the load. This is true in the majors as well as Showdown. There are 10 long men in this years class. Each one with value in the right situation.
