Who to keep (baseball)?

Thats not true at all. In most leagues, dominant closers like Ryan, Wagner, Krod, Nathan etc. Start going as early as late 2nd but mosttimes mid 3rd round and on. I dont think i have ever been in a league where no closer is taken until 7.

really, the problem here is that some people regard a closer as a one-category guy. if you're just looking for saves (which you might be in a points league) then this approach is okay. but if you're in a 5x5, to compare ryan to whoever closes in boston is like comparing carl crawford with dave roberts. sure, they'll provide comparable steal totals, but one of them is guaranteed a starting job all year and is leaps and bounds ahead of the other in all the non-steal columns. those advantages add up to a lot.

The answer is Ryan.
