AL Reliever of the Year

Parentheses at end are (1st Place Votes, 2nd Place Votes, 3rd Place Votes / Total Ballots)

1) 70 Points-Eric Gagne, SH ---------(11, 5, 0 / 16 ballots)
2) 22 Points-Bobby Jenks, SH -------- (3, 1, 4 / 8 ballots)
3) 14 Points-Joaquin Benoit, WPM ---- (0, 3, 5 / 8 ballots)
4) 13 Points-Red Ryan, WPM ---------- (2, 1, 0 / 3 ballots)
5) 11 Points-Rafael Betancourt, PRL - (1, 2, 0 / 3 ballots)
6) 5 Points-Fernando Rodney, MRE ---- (0, 1, 2 / 3 ballots)
7) 5 Points-Porter Charleston, MRE -- (0, 1, 2 / 3 ballots)
8) 4 Points-Mariano Rivera, BF ------ (0, 1, 1 / 2 ballots)
9) 4 Points-Joe Nathan, RKA --------- (0, 1, 1 / 2 ballots)
10) 3 Points-Billy Wagner, TWW ------ (0, 1, 0 / 1 ballots)
11) 2 Points-Greg Holland, TWW ------ (0, 0, 2 / 2 ballots)

Really no surprise here.  Gagne was a closer with the 2nd most saves in the league and a 0.80 ERA.  He had to win.

Interestingly, teammate Bobby Jenks grabs second (with 3 first place votes) and the 3rd/4th place relievers are also from the AL East.
