Jeff Russell
P · 14 seasons · 1983 – 1996 · B/T: R/R
Jeff Russell is the extreme version of a specialist. +22.9 of roto value came from saves, yet his career total is only +22.7. 1989 was the high-water mark, worth +8.7, 14th that season and 1808th of 51,303 player-seasons on record. His profile is all upside: saves (+22.9), ERA (+2.5) and WHIP (+0.5), and nothing on the debit side.
