we're going to continue our polarizing series with 10 polarizing closers coming up next on the

rotowire fancy baseball podcast

hey everybody welcome to the Roto Wire Fantasy Baseball podcast.

Brought to you by Vivid Seats.

I'm Jeff Erickson here with Fred Zinke.

We are talking about 10 polarizing closers today.

We did polarizing hitters two weeks ago.

We did polarizing starting pitchers last week.

We're going to do polarizing closers this week, Fred. First of all, how are you?

I'm great. Yeah, great. I have Brandon Nimmo on almost all of my teams.

Oh, beautiful. Yeah, and I kept him in all of my lineups this week, even though he'd been really

frustrating, mostly because I didn't have

any great alternatives for 15 team leagues. But yeah, so I got, you know, a huge day from him out

of nowhere yesterday. So I was pretty excited about that after I struck out on a lot of fab bids on Sunday

night. Did you now? So who did you strike out on? I just didn't get, I didn't pony up. I didn't spend enough to get Kurtz. I didn't, I really wanted Augustin Ramirez in one league. I didn't get him. I did get Francisco Alvarez in that league for 81, which I actually felt like was pretty good. Yeah. Like, right? Like he's back and, but I really wanted Ram ramirez i was excited about him so anyways i just

didn't get any of those guys um i got one i saved a lot of money so i got one one kirtz

i heard one augustin ramirez that's it i got no luke weber um which he was not available in

any of my leagues he was only available in one of my 12 teamers um which is where it been. But that's kind of the impetus for today's conversation. Yeah. That we're talking about polarizing closers because this last week and a half in particular, but this whole start of the season has been a little choppy when it comes to closers. And you wanted to raise the question, wasn't a mistake to go early closers this year?

Did you go early closers this year, first of all?

Yep.

And maybe.

Yes, I did.
