The past few weeks have been rough. We are all battling the COVID-19 outbreak, which has changed everyone’s life.

HOLD OPPORTUNITIES: DON’T OVERLOOK RELIEVERS (HODOR) PT III
Over the last two pieces, we have covered a lot of ground when considering how to build and value a bullpen in dynasty and long-term keeper formats. In part one, we marveled at the great Arthur Rhodes while acknowledging the volatility in the new normal. In part two, we did
