Relief pitching is one of the more volatile positions in fantasy baseball, so it's important to come into your draft with a plan ... and then also a backup plan. 

Do you want to spend an early pick for a "lock" at the position?  

Or would you rather divide the risk with a few middle- to late-tier relievers?  

Maybe you want to punt saves altogether, and be a warrior on the waiver wire. 

 All strategies can be winning strategies. No matter what strategy you choose, however, it's important to get an idea of the closer landscape and where you can find value.

There are more pitchers this year than in recent seasons that we know will be closing games. It's one of the strongest groups of closers I have seen entering draft season.   

Here are my top 30 closers right now. Look for updates as we get further into spring training.
