You might notice that the later rounds are full of stud pitchers that could easily finish the year as league leaders. Draft a Cliff Lee, Jon Lester, type pitcher early and then load up on offense, then take all these pitchers late. In most league closers are only valuable for saves only. Do not be afraid t
o not draft a closer at all and take risks on high upside players. Once you figure out who comes through for you, then you can slowly add closers as they become available throughout the year. I usually draft 1 and then have 4 on the roster during playoffs.
Can’t wait for the season. Go Rays!
