Duffy is back and should be owned in all leagues. He isn't striking out as many as we saw last season, but now that he is healthy, that might come back. Either way, the ratios will be a big bonus to any fantasy staff. |

The Diamondbacks are expected to win at least a handful of games and apparently Rodney will get the first crack at the closing duties. That doesn't mean his ratios will be helpful or that he will hang onto the job, but saves are saves after all. |

Koda Glover (WSH - RP) DL60 | 301 |

44.4 |
13.8 |
Glover has been a closer prospect for some time and now that Papelbon's star has faded, the Nationals look all set to hand the closer job over to the kid. Bare in mind, however, that they were trying to acquire David Roberston so Glover's leash should be short. |

Keone Kela (TEX - RP) DL10 | 336 |

42.8 |
14.3 |
As signs point to Kela taking over the closer job for good with Bush continuing to struggle and Kela in dominant form. There is no question that he has the best stuff in the bullpen and has been groomed to take over as the closer for a few years so his leash may not be as short as most newbie closers. |

Shawn Kelley (WSH - RP) DL10 | 347 |

It looks as though Koda Glover is going to be handed the closer job, but seeing that the Nationals were looking to acquire a closer via trade, that gives us a strong indication that Glover will have a short leash so keep an eye on Kelley. |
| 52 |
Sam Dyson (SF - RP) | 323 |

46.5 |
10.2 |
Dyson is by no means your typical flame-throwing closer, but he did get the job done last season, saving 38 games. With that being said, there are a few relievers in this bullpen who seem to fit the mold better, so it may be only a matter of time until Keone Kela takes the job for himself. |

It is anticipated that Ottavino will win the closer job over Greg Holland after his extraordinary 27 innings last season, but trusting a reliever in Coors Field has proven to be a fools bet so proceed with caution. |

While the Phillies have one of the best relievers in baseball with Hector Neris, there is some speculation that the mediocre Gomez might be given the closer role to begin the season. While it likely wouldn't last, you've got to find a way to get saves where and when you can. |

The closer position for the Reds is wide open right now. While Storen was abysmal last season, he has far and away the most closer experience on the roster and was once a shut down type of guy but until the Reds name their closer, it might be best to use that roster spot elsewhere. |
