RELIEVERS: NFBC ADPs take control of your draft

This column looks at the NFBC Average Draft Position (ADP) for relievers projected to earn ten saves or more currently by BaseballHQ.com and gives you some insights to allow you to form a strategy that works for you. Assume that you will want around 60 saves--or as close to it as you can get.

Let's start with closers going in the first five rounds (all mentions of "rounds" that follow are for 15-team leagues, but the principles can be applied to other league sizes):
