POSITION REPORT: Relief Pitching

Howard Boykins (8/6/8), a 25-year-old lefty, has pitched over 80 games in relief each of the past two seasons. He had a 3.69 ERA in '99. He looks to be a mainstay in the 'pen for quite some time. 33-year-old lefty Milford Holley (8/8/8) is my bet to be the closer this season. He has a 3.85 lifetime ERA, and had a 3.09 in '99. John Honda (7/7/7), age 29, got his first full season in the majors last year, and responded with a 2.51 ERA. He's signed through '02. 25-year-old righty Tomas Nieves (8/6/8) had a nice rookie campaign last year, with a 4.22 ERA in 74 2/3 IP. 28-year-old lefty Henry Mukai (8/8/6) was the closer last year. He had 29 saves and a 3.77 ERA. Santiago Martines (8/7/5), a 32-year old right-hander, appeared in 78 games and had a 3.89 ERA.

A great bullpen prospect is 21 yo Joshua Dinger (Brl/Avg/Good). Dinger's ratings are already 7/5/6, and he looks ready for the Show. He's a five-star talent, and probably the closer of the future.

OVERALL THOUGHTS: The 'pen looks solid and deep.
