The Closer Rebuttal for 2022 Drafts Episode of the Beat the Shift Podcast – a baseball podcast for fantasy baseball players.

Strategy Section

  • Closer rebuttal for 2022 drafts
    • Historical earnings for top closers
    • Early closers may bake in a certain value loss
    • Low historical hit rates for closers
    • Drafting top closers means passing up on valuable players
    • Drafting a starting pitcher instead of a top closer – one less starter to find on the waiver wire
    • Too much uncertainty in bullpens
    • Too much draft capital invested in a one-category player
    • Use a combination of absolute value and relative value

Agreed. High draft or dollar picks need to have a high floor.
