Closers

I know Closer isn't a technical name for a position and I've been looking but I can't seem to find a webpage that has a comprehensive list of pitchers currently used as closers for their teams, I'm just looking to hire one onto my fantasy team..

Are you in a Yahoo league? If so, go to a team's page and click on the "depth chart" option. They will give the name of the primary closer. Be sure to check to make sure he's actually being used that way and is doing reasonably well because sometimes marginal closers get dumped pretty quick. If you find one who is kinda sucking see if you can find out who might be next in line. In a deep league that is probably your only shot.

i hate how Yahoo does their pitching.. like this is only the 1st time its happened to me.. but this guy that im up against.. just picks up a different set of picthers every day.. like.. instead of having his starters and a couple bench.. as soon as his pitcher pitches, he cuts him, picks up one to start a couple days later.. he dominates everyone in the win category, and strikeout, and often gets closes, era, and whip..
anyone else see this happening in their leagues? i mean ive stuck with pretty much my same pitching squad since day one.. maybe yahoo could increase the time it takes to get a pitcher on ur roster from next day to like 4 days or something.

Whoever set your league up fucked up. Transactions should have been limited. In my league we have unlimited trades but all other transactions are limited to 25 for the year.

I just checked Commissioner Tools in the Shroomery league and you can tell your commissioner to change it, he still has the power to this deep into the season.
