If a manager stays on of top it by following box scores, it's easy to pick up relievers who will find their way into closer roles.

When it comes to winning in fantasy baseball, having 4-5 closers is important, but a manager doesn't have to invest a lot of resources in them to get there.
So in my last draft, which may have been the best yet (position 10/12), I ended up with Lidge and Soria before taking a SP. I reached some on both I guess, but you'd just about have to dominate with that right??? Seems like you're much better off to draft at the bottom in baseball....

My "aces" ended up being Liriano and Dempster....again, not knowing a ton that felt WEAK - however I felt pretty bada$$ with Howard/Utley as my 1st and 2nd...

Is it wise to spread your guys out on different teams, or does that matter a lot less in fantasy baseball? Just noticed that I keep drafting a lot of Phillies.
