Plenty of great seasons to choose from for the National League Reliever of the Year Award, but in the end, Albuquerque's Jonathan Papelbon was a step above the competition.  Pap's went 7-2, with a 1.44 ERA, 33 Saves, 0.93 WHIP, and a 1.75 RCERA in 62 IP.  He struck out 39 and walked 17.

In a distant second was Bruce Sutter who didn't have elite rate stats, but did pitch about twice as much as any other reliever and voters liked him for it.
