As we gear up for the 2025 Fantasy Baseball season, the conversation around relief pitchers is heating up, and I want to hear your thoughts! With the recent rankings and tiers being released, it’s clear that the landscape of closers and setup men is as unpredictable as ever.
Let’s dive into some bold predictions and see where we stand. For instance, could Felix Bautista, despite missing the entire 2024 season, reclaim his spot as an elite closer? His potential value in SV-only leagues is intriguing, especially if he’s healthy. On the flip side, what about Matt Strahm? With a jaw-dropping 1.87 ERA last season, is he poised for a breakout year, or is he just a flash in the pan?
I’m also curious about the “Next-Door Neighbors” tier. Players like Robert Suarez and Jhoan Duran are solid options, but do you think they have what it takes to elevate their game to the elite level? And what about the risk factors? Are we too quick to overlook injury-prone pitchers like Kenley Jansen or A.J. Minter?
Let’s not forget the “Weirdos With Junk Everywhere” tier. Are there hidden gems among them that could surprise us? Prelander Berroa has been mentioned as a potential closer, but can he really rise above the chaos of the White Sox bullpen?
I want to hear your takes! Who are your favorite values in the relief pitcher landscape? Are there any players you’re avoiding like the plague? Let’s get the discussion rolling and see if we can uncover some strategies that could lead us to victory this season!
