      I have had ridiculous success/luck over the years in finding closers-in-waiting (a league-record 99 SV for 8 auction units 4 years ago and did not trade for a closer all year), but this year feels as if it has been rough.

      placed the glass slipper on, in rough order, Soria Graterol Knebel Givens Estevez Doolittle Hembree Bednar Bender Floro Tepera MRodriguez and Stratton (in a no-bench, 6 waiver-move league!).

      with the dust having settled, I am left with possible PIT closer Bender 10, maybe flier on young LAD flamethrower Graterol 2, and a 2022 spring training lottery ticket in MIA Bender 10.

      I guess that's respectable, realistically - ignoring the fact that I have obliterated the all-time in-season spending record of about 150 bucks and a lot of that was on RP churn to be honest....

        I think it was a result of covid. There was a ton of injuries and pretty sure confusion on many fantasy owners trying to select starters and relievers. There is probably around 20 teams or so that changed closers.
