Question for IE

[Nick Douglas]

I remember last season you posted something comparing best bullpens and most money made team by team and how those two lists mirrored each other closely. Is anything similar happening this season?

Thanks

Thanks, IE. Seeing as though there are 2 of the bottom 5 bullpens in 2 of the top 5 moneymakers, there seems to be almost no correlation whatsoever. Oh well.
