In another walk away win, Ankhana's Dennis Eckersley wins the AL Reliever of the year award. Eck was masterful not only in his rate stats, but racked up incredible counting stats for a reliever too. He pitched 155 innings over 88 games, racked up 25 saves and 13 wins. He also had a 1.74 ERA, 0.82 WHIP, 1.60 RCERA, 1.38 ERA, and -35.2 RSAA. His RSAA was better than any American League starter.
However, not all where that impressed as he was left off one ballot and also secured three third place votes.
Not to be overlooked was Jeff Zimmerman's incredible 1.01 ERA in 80 innings pitched. His sabermetric stats didn't quite match up to Eckersley's, but voters recognized his brilliance and gave him second.
My fault for not including Eck. Not sure what I was thinking. Please send him my apologies.
