2007 Ken Phelps All-Stars: Relief Pitchers

I've decided to present all five of the relief pitchers on my 2007 Ken Phelps All-Star Team at once. There are many qualified relief pitchers out there, so consider my selections as representative of lots of other effective relievers stuck in the minors. Why don't teams try these guys instead of spending millions on free agent retreads?

Cory Doyne - 26-year-old RHP, Orioles. Signed as a minor league free agent.
2007: 10.31 k/9, 2.95 bb/9, 1.97 FIP at AAA Norfolk
2006: 10.58 k/9, 5.70 bb/9, 2.94 FIP at AA Springfield (Cardinals)

Grant Balfour - 29-year-old RHP, Brewers. Comeback from injury. Minor league free agent.
2007: 13.00 k/9, 2.67 bb/9, 2.16 FIP at AAA Nashville
2006: 11.12 k/9, 4.76 bb/9, 2.85 FIP at A Sarasota (Reds)

Brian Sanches - 28-year-old RHP, Phillies. At AAA for 3 seasons. Now doing well in bigs.
2007: 11.70 k/9, 1.20 bb/9, 2.40 FIP at AAA Ottawa
2006: 10.72 k/9, 2.68 bb/9, 2.38 FIP at AAA Scranton

Travis Driskill - 35-year-old RHP, Astros. Pitching well in a tough park.
2007: 9.44 k/9, 1.98 bb/9, 3.10 FIP at AAA Round Rock
2006: 8.07 k/9, 1.81 bb/9, 3.66 FIP at AAA Round Rock

Dan Giese - 30-year-old RHP, Giants. Signed minor league contract.
2007: 8.40 k/9, 1.00 bb/9, 2.24 FIP at AAA Fresno
2006: 8.33 k/9, 1.01 bb/9, 2.78 FIP at AAA Scranton (Phillies)

Obviously I favor relievers who can get the strikeout and have excellent control. "FIP" is Fielding Independent Pitching and is a better stat for relief pitchers than ERA.
