Fantasy Baseball: 6 Elite-Skills Relievers to Add for the Stretch Run in Rotisserie Leagues

Many saves speculators were chomping at the bit to have David Robertson traded out of the Chicago White Sox bullpen so that Tommy Kahnle could assume his role and provide cheap saves for the fantasy stretch run. Alas, when Kahnle followed Robertson and Todd Frazier to the New York Yankees in a seven-player blockbuster, the 27-year-old righty's prospective fantasy value appeared to take a major hit.

And while his place in a crowded Yankee relief corp might not be ideal from a usage standpoint, Kahnle boasts elite skills that shouldn't be ignored, even if he is far from the top of the pecking order for saves in New York. Kahnle's 37.9% K-BB is the third-highest among qualified relievers, behind only Craig Kimbrel and Kenley Jansen -- elite company, indeed.

Meanwhile, Kahnle appears to have been one of the most unfortunate bullpen arms this year in terms of batted-ball luck, with a .337 BABIP that ranks 12th-worst among qualified relievers. His 1.39 FIP (again third behind Kimbrel and Jansen) suggests he might be even better than his already terrific 2.28 ERA.

The jampacked Yankees' bullpen probably caps Kahnle's upside in terms of volume, but you could argue that he's the best pitcher on this list -- and he's there for the taking in nearly all ESPN leagues.
