RELIEVERS—2019 Gambles

This column is aimed at gambles. Gambles here are relievers who have roles that are better than their current projected skills, with the idea that they might lose those roles in-season. Some of the relievers examined in this column last year were Brad Ziegler (RHP, FA), Luke Gregerson (RHP, STL), Mark Melancon (RHP, SF), Shane Greene (RHP, DET), and Arodys Vizcaíno (RHP, ATL). Let's start this year with the Arizona Diamondbacks, who have Greg Holland (RHP, ARI):
