Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Fantasy Baseball - Week 15
It's (almost) the All-Star Break, folks!

Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Fantasy Baseball - Week 11
It was a very interesting week in bullpens across the league as one closer had a baby, another landed on the injured list, and another got demoted after narrowly avoiding the injured list.

Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Fantasy Baseball - Week 8
Sometimes weeks go really well in fantasy baseball bullpens. Middle relievers get their strikeouts, setup men get their holds, and closers get their saves.
