After starting the week off focusing on the bullpen, we will continue this series with another cheap arm that can be had in the later rounds. Despite sometimes being viewed as one-trick ponies, relievers available at the end of drafts can really be solid complimentary pieces to round out a fantasy squad. 

Just like in the kitchen, preparation is key to successfully mastering your fantasy draft, with one of the main ingredients being finding value in the later rounds. In most cases we call these players "sleepers," but not all of these players are fresh faces that we have never seen before. In fact, the majority of the players we find in the later rounds we fine aging veterans on the decline, players returning from injury or players who have been up and down between the minor and majors still trying to find a permanent home. Whatever the case may be, these are the players that could be the difference in bringing home the trophy come September. 

Since the term "deep sleeper" can mean a lot of different things, all players discussed in this series will hold an average draft position (ADP) of 250 or higher based off the most recent mock draft results of Fantasy Alarm's own Howard Bender and the Mock Draft Army. If you haven't checked out the Mock Draft Arm series,, be sure to give it a look as Howard continues to assemble some really good ADP information based on a series of mock drafts featuring experts from throughout the industry and fans alike. Now that we laid out the ground rules let's get cookin'...

Jenrry Mejia, RP (NYM)

Mock Draft Army ADP: 271.4

Over the course of a 162-game season, it is sometimes difficult to determine a set role for a player, whether on the mound or as a position player. In the case of Mejia, it took seven trips to the mound as a starting pitcher for the team to realize that maybe he was being misused and eventually was moved to the bullpen where the Dominican Republic native was able to find success.

Once moved to the bullpen in 2014, Mejia was able to convert 28 of 31 save chances for the Mets, after a failed attempt to use Jose Valverde as the team's closer. However, looking beyond the saves category, Mejia rarely had a three-and-out inning, finishing the season with a 3.65 ERA and 1.48 WHIP through 93.2 innings between the starting rotation and in relief. Had Mejia's luck turned for the worst, ratio statistics of that nature would have likely landed him in middle relief or even back in the minors. 

Despite averaging just over one strikeout per inning pitched in 2014, the Mets righty showed inability to prevent free passes as he averaging 3.9 BB/9 which factored out to allowing 9.8 percent of the batters he faced to get on base via the walk. This clearly put Mejia in vulnerable situations, but he managed to work his way out of most appearances, finishing with a surprisingly low three blown saves. Although some of his late season issues could have been credited to a sports hernia that landed him under the knife following the season, he still needs to prove he can get the job done on a consistent level.

Heading into 2015 Mejia is the defacto Mets closer, but there are two other pitchers in Jeurys Familia and Bobby Parnell who could easily take over the role with a good spring. However, Familia is still a work in progress and Parnell is expected to be out for the first few weeks of the regular season as he battles back from elbow surgery, so Mejia should be able to make it through the spring schedule with the closer tag as long as he is able to work out some of the kinks in his command. 

As far as fantasy is concerned, by no means is Mejia a No. 1 closer in any format. Heck, he might not even make it through the first month of the season as the Mets ninth inning guy. With that said he makes for a solid complimentary option for saves as he has lacked the production elsewhere up to this point in his career, although his strikeout rate could be on the rise if his command gets straightened out. For now he should be targeted in all leagues of 12-teams or more as a No. 2 or No. 3 saves option.
