Everyone seems to have a different approach to drafting closers for their fantasy team. Some like to grab the elite studs at the top, while other punt saves altogether to stock up on starting pitchers. I don't advise punting any category, so as irritating as they are to own at times, closers and select middle relievers are valuable commodities. I know, it makes you want to pull your hair out when they allow five ER in 0.1 innings. We've all been there. But if you attack it right, you can end up with a solid core of…

We aren’t all going to agree on every single player. That would make fantasy leagues incredibly boring. The same can be said here at Fantrax.
