WTH 25-Man Roster - Relief Pitcher

As posted over the weekend, the 18th player added to the WTH 25-Man Roster was Utility Infielder Brandon Wikoff.  Also receiving votes were Yonathan Mejia, Luca Martone, Josh Magee, Jean Batista and Jio Mier.  For more information on the WTH Roster, go here.

This week we're going to pick our 5th relief pitcher.  This list is compiled of the top vote getters from all prior rounds of voting for relief pitchers.  This will probably not be a slam dunk pick for most voters, but there are a number of very interesting candidates.  Juan Mojica and Krishawn Holley have the lowest ERA's but it is a small sample size.  Zach Dando and Jorge de Leon had the stingiest WHIP's.  De Leon and Ryan Cole are the save leaders of the group.  Alex Sogard and Xavier Cedeno have added versatility with the ability to spot start or handle long relief (plus we REALLY need another lefty on our roster).  A number of these pitchers have excellent SO/9 and SO/BB ratios ~ I keep coming back to Matison Smith in that regard.  And finally you have wild cards Jack Armstrong, with a high 90's fastball; Chia-Jen Lo who dominated in 2009 before injuries took their toll; and Josh Zeid who could develop into the closer of the future.

With all that said, here are the 2011 stats for the players.  Look them over and vote.
