yankees don't have save situations. they either lose by 1 (see 1 run game record) or win in a blow out.

Right now, that's true.

I probably would have said something different at the beginning of the season, but now I'll say you're kind of silly to place your entire RP hopes in a fantasy league on just Rivera. There are lots of grade-A closers out there. In fact, there should be 30 of them total. So what's the big deal? Search the wire.

there aren't close to 30 grade a-closers, you have nathan, k-rod, and wagner as grade A, then you have another tier of guys who are good and have job security as the closer, then you have guys who aren't that good and who can lose the job if they have a couple bad outings in a row

fantasy closers who have been more valuable than nathan this year:

cordero
putz
isringhausen
k rod
hoffman
fuentes
jenks
wagner
papelbon

[/ QUOTE ]

also to add to your list statistically

al reyes - tampa
takashi saito

then there is some other rp's who are ranked higher but arent the closers of there teams such as

rafael soriano
heath bell
pat neshek
okajima

are you serious

I looked up the fantasy stats of all the pitchers mentioned and they were all ranked higher then joe nathan this year. It doesn't mean they are better or even close to joe nathans level, but statistically which is what i CLEARLY pointed out they are ranked higher this season.
