If you would replace these players with a Wayne Gomes of the Phillies, Doug Henry of the Astros or Dan Miceli of the Padres you would improve your ERA and Ratio and not lose anything from the wins category. This change can improve your ERA from 0.25 to 0.50 runs and your ratio by up to 0.75. It doesn't sound like much, but take a look at your team s standings and see how many points you would gain with this change. How to Get Vultures Look at recent box scores and see who is pitching when a game is tied or a team is down by one or two runs. You will be surprised to see that most of the time it is the same pitcher.
Vultures change many times during the season.
When a closer changes many times, the vulture changes also. An example of this is when Mark Wohlers was the closer of the Braves, Kerry Lightenberg was the vulture. When Wolhers got hurt, Lightenberg became the closer and Mike Cather became the vulture. Now that Wohlers is back, Lightenberg will resume his role as the vulture and Cather becomes a regular reliever. There is always opportunity to get these people.
