RELIEVERS: Clicking on all cylinders so far

This column is simpler, just a standard look at some non-closer relievers half-way through May who have caught some attention due to their superb skills exhibited so far. These skills are high strikeouts (8.5+/9 innings), low walks (K/BB of at least 3.0), and fewer than 1.0 HR/9 innings. It also includes only relievers with a sub 3.00 xERA and at least 125 BPV. You will have seem some of these names before, but perhaps not all.

Let's start with the Dodgers who boast three names who meet this tough criteria filling in for Kenley Jansen (RHP, LA):
