Best values

Sergio Romo, RHP

Failed closers can be good values in free agency, where "proven" closers get overpaid. Romo, like Rafael Soriano and Francisco Rodriguez, isn't the same pitcher he used to be, but I believe Romo's slider and his ability to throw strikes make him a good setup option for a team that wants to have a backup closer on the roster.
