Closer Rankings, ADP & Draft Valuations

This week's discussion centers around 2017 closer and relief pitcher tiered rankings, ADP and draft valuations. We delve into the following topics on this edition of RotoBaller Radio:

  • Are Aroldis Chapman and Kenley Jansen truly in a league of their own?
  • How do you value the second tier of closers and what rounds should they be drafted in?
  • What kind of draft strategy to Raph and Anthony employ when drafting closers.
  • Which relief pitchers are better to own in fantasy than many starting pitchers?
  • Ranking the top closers and placing draft values on them for 2017.
  • Late round closers, spring training movers and the concept of "half" closers.

 

We break down everything highlighted above and much more, so relax and take notes while you listen to our full show:
