Who is the best MLN reliever that isn't a closer?

best to not judge relievers by ERA too heavily IMO

Yeah agreed. Inherited runners is a big stat.
I was more talking about who had the best stuff.
I watch Rosenthal and just say WOW.
Potential through the roof.
For some reason I see him starting games. Have no idea if he wants to or if he's always been a reliever etc.

Up until this week you could have said Tyrannosaurus Brothers in Colorado. Rosenthal has been good, but he was brought up through the minors as a starter and I think he'll be a starter eventually...not that was the question. Hard to argue with Rosenthal right now.

Others...
Kenley Jansen
Scott Downs, Jessie Crain, and Joel Peralta have been under rated for years.
Brett Cecil may have finally found his niche.

Bullpens are so specialized now. A few teams don't like using their best RP as a closer anymore. Guys like Boone Logan are specialized pitchers put in to get a specific hitter or two out in high leverage situations. You start putting those guys in for innings at a time and they'll get blown up.
