It’s a fantasy baseball given that says something to the effect of, 35%-45% of all the saves in MLB will come from players who went undrafted in your fantasy baseball draft. By saying that I’m telling you that, while important, ranking closers isn’t an exact science. And doing so two weeks prior to pitchers reporting to camp is foolish. Which is why I’m doing it.

Expect lots of movement on this list.

1. Takashi Saito | Los Angeles Dodgers
2. Jose Valverde | Houston Astros
3. Francisco Cordero | Cincinnati Reds
4. Billy Wagner | New York Mets
5. Trevor Hoffman | San Diego Padres
6. Chad Cordero | Washington Nationals

8. Jason Isringhausen | St. Louis Cardinals
9. Brad Lidge | Philadelphia Phillies
10. Rafael Soriano | Atlanta Braves
