2019 Relief Pitchers - Early Fantasy Baseball Tiered Rankings
A tough position to evaluate is that of relief pitchers, as a lot of success for closers comes from success from teams.

Updated Relief Pitcher Rankings - 2018 Fantasy Baseball
One final time before regular season baseball returns and our lives are, at last, complete, RotoBaller's staff writers are updating their 2018 fantasy baseball rankings. Today, we'll be taking a look at one of the shallower positions - relief pitcher. As usual, there are a few elite options at the top, and it gets much dicier after that.
