04/03: Community Projection: The Relievers
Here's the final portion of the community projections which details the bullpen and of course, Mr. Rivera.
| G | IP | W | L | BB | K | HD | SV | BlSv | ERA |
| RP: Kyle Farnsworth | 76 | 78.1 | 5 | 3 | 30 | 95 | 20 | 4 | 3 | 3.03 |
| RP: Octavio Dotel | 39 | 42.2 | 3 | 2 | 15 | 57 | 11 | 2 | 2 | 3.03 |
| RP: Tanyon Sturtze | 46 | 56 | 4 | 5 | 21 | 36 | 10 | 0 | 1 | 4.53 |
| RP: Mike Myers | 66 | 39 | 2 | 2 | 13 | 23 | 10 | 0 | 1 | 3.11 |
| RP: Ron Villone | 71 | 71 | 6 | 3 | 34 | 67 | 13 | 1 | 2 | 3.84 |
| | | | | | | | | | |
| CL: Mariano Rivera | 71 | 75 | 6 | 2 | 18 | 75 | 0 | 46 | 4 | 1.71 |
I'm not sure how many people agree with my personal outlook but I really believe that the bullpen has been upgraded quite a bit. However, Joe Torre has to manage the bullpen well, which to this point, isn't something that he has excelled at. I also think that Tanyon Sturtze's contributions to this ballclub can be (and will be, due to injury) replaced at some point by someone from AAA (whether that is Ramiro Mendoza, Matt DeSalvo, etc. I'm not sure.) Chime in and let me know if these projections look too optimistic or if you see something you want to comment on.

I think Villone's projection is a bit too optimistic, an ERA around 4.30-4.40 is more likely I think.
