Not much is expected from Baltimore in 2019, and the bullpen is frankly, atrocious. There are a few left-handers who have some situational value, with Mychal Givens (RHP, BAL) closing. For AL-only or mixed league purposes, there is not much to gain unless one guy is grabbing all the saves. Is that Givens? Here is the first week:
