fantasy baseball question: How many closers do I need on my roster ???

Question

I drafted 2 starting closers... is that enough?

Also: the 2 closers I drafted are:

Houston Street
Jason Isringhausen

Answer 1

no you need 3 to be competitive in that stat. 4 is the usual number.

Answer 2

I would say as many as you can get, but 3 is what you should be aiming for. As soon as a closer becomes available add him. look out for team's changing closers and pick up the replacement. For now 2 is enough if they are top of the line, but if they are mediocre not well known closers, you could be in trouble.

Just look out for closers on the waiver-wire and add as many as you can, at least 1 more.

Answer 3

I personally like having 3 solid closers (standard number of pitching slots). This way if one closer is having an off week, I still can potentially win saves. Solid closers lower your ERA and can sometimes pick up wins.

Answer 4

Yes two should do the trick but how many set-up men for the closer in the way baseball is played is crucial as well.

Answer 5

Is Rafael Betancourt nonetheless available? he's last for the Indians whilst Joe Borowski is on the DL. Heath Bell is next in line ought to Trevor Hoffman cave in or cave in. he's a stable pickup that gets you a low era and a few ok's regardless of if he does not get the last activity.

Answer 6

3-4 is good i had 4 but i dropped one to pick up Clemmems bt it depends onn who you have, in yahoo leagues you really need 3 closers!

Answer 7

it depends which closers u have. if their great then u prolly only need 2, but if they are avg. then u could prolly use 3-4

Answer 8

i have 3-4 on all of my teams.. closers lower era, whip, get you saves,sometimes even wins.. so they're really helpfull

Answer 9

Yes, but it may depend on who you have.
