All closers suck

Maybe theres just something wrong with my franchise, but every single closer simply sucks in both the NL and the AL.

In my first season (fantasy drafted team) my closer was Drew Storen, who was lucky to keep his ERA under 4. Then the next season I decided to make Pedro Srop my closer. He had a 2.25ish ERA the year before, and of course he has a sub 4 ERA as a closer.

I checked the rankings for delivery man of the year. The winner has a 3.75 ERA, and those in second and third are also way above three.

Whats the deal? Is this happening in anyone else's franchise?

I'm using Ryan Madson of all people and he's 17/18 for me.

Re: All closers suck

I've been perfect with Joel Hanrahan so far. Make sure you're locating your pitches well, the game likes to make you pay late when you miss your spots. Mix speeds a lot late, don't give up anything thigh high and you should be money.


EDIT: I also see that it's a league-wide problem. Not sure what's up with that, I know nothing about simulation and sliders and all that jazz, I can just tell you to do the above and hopefully that will bring your ERA down and conversion percentage up.

I'm perfect with Tommy Hunter (BAL). He's only got 3 pitches, FB CUT and SL. I intermix the FB and CUT, mainly using the cutter outside to righties/inside to lefties. The slider is my out pitch and it works nicely. It also helps he gasses it at 98 too
