Was wondering if anyone knew of some good overall setup men for the bullpen? My bullpen is struggling a bit with most ERA over 5. Fortunately, my starting rotation is really strong and I only need 1-2 innings on most nights before my closer steps in.

I am playing as the Cardinals and have made a lot of moves so I have a strong farm system that I can trade for long-term, A potential middle relievers or lefty specialists.

Right now, my only good middle reliever/setup man is Eduardo Sanchez who has yet to blow a Save/Hold and is keeping his ERA under 2. Salas/Rzcepskinski have ERA 5+. Same with all others, high 4's and up.

I'm looking for a couple of R-handed relievers/setup men and a good lefty specialist or two I could look for.

I got Rafael Perez from Cleveland (lefty).

Clay Rapada on the Yanks has been an absolute stud for me so far. lefties don't stand a chance against him

Scott Downs is one of the best. Lefty too.

Shutdown set up men are worth their weight in gold for me. Get a hold of Venters, Clippard, or Robertson for relievers that excel in all high leverage situations.

rafael soriano, tyler clippard, and johnny venters are good options.. not too sure about lefties.

David Hernandez has been nails for me.
