I'll start with the NL.
NL West:
Dodgers - League
Giants - Romo
Padres - Street
D'Backs - Putz
Rockies - Betancourt
NL Central:
Reds - Broxton
Brewers - Axford? (Not very good last year)
Cards - Motte
Pirates - Hanrahan? (Trade rumors swirl)
Cubs - Marmol?
NL East:
Braves - Kimbrel
Nationals - Clippard/Storen?
Marlins - Choate
Phillies - Papelbon
Mets - Francisco/Parnell?
Feel free to comment/correct/update.

- David Hernandez could be this year's Chapman/Jansen/Rodney
- Marshall is another possibility for that. he's draftable for ratios and should get another crack if Brox falters or gets hurt again
- Gregerson should finally be a safe #2 behind Street after the job he did before Street got back
- Kenley over League
- Romo gets the kid gloves treatment so Casilla or even Affeldt (Lopez?) might be worth a pick in deeper leagues
- Marmol is as good as gone
- don't think the Pirates will get much for Hanrahan, so they could keep him and hope to trade him at the deadline
- I think Clippard is better than Storen, and will be cheaper in drafts so I might gamble on him
- Choate is a bona fide LOOGY. Cishek is a much better bet to close
- Frank Frank was atrocious and is going under the knife (minor) so I'll take another shot on Parnell
Tier 1 NL
Kimbrel
Tier 2 NL (no order)
Jansen
Motte
Tier 3
Romo
Broxton
Cishek
Street (must handcuff to Gregerson)
Putz (must handcuff to Hernandez)
Betancourt
as usual I'll probably target those tier 3 guys.

My take...
It definitely is too early to start tracking closers.
It definitely is too early to start tracking closers.

League over Jansen for now. That's how the Dodgers see it anyways. They said so and saw it on RW. They also gave League a big contract this off season so after that and hearing their confidence in him I would say League is their guy. Do I agree with it? No. Do I think it will stick? No. Bottom is line is for now if you are talking who has the job all signs point to League.
One thing I am interested in is the Nationals closing situation. I would think Storen gets a shot, but with the way Clippard pitched while he was down it could go either way.

Oops! Meant Cishek, not Choate. Choate is definitely a LOOGY, and he's definitely a Cardinal.
I agree that Jansen is the far more talented, but as was already mentioned, the Dodgers are saying League, right now. You also have Jansen's heart issue that may or may not factor into the equation.

I'm not drafting any closers this year. They change. A LOT! How many closers keep their jobs from start to end last year? Just keep close look at monthly closer topic here and you will be fine as the season goes.

For basic leagues that allow unlimited roster moves, that strategy would work. Leagues with move limits, however, that could be a different story.

Actually there were more closers who kept their jobs than lost their jobs.

oops. I'd probably rate him as the 2nd best in the NL. not in Kimbrel's tier.
didn't know that they pegged League as the closer. I still like Jansen but clearly needs to drop down a tier if he won't be getting saves out the gate.
I will never draft Francisco Liriano ever again.

I hope we don't go down this road again, because it has been beaten to death.
if you play in a competitive league, especially a roto league, it is not as simple as picking up closers from the WW at your leisure.

Who's going to be the closer to come out of nowhere and surprise everyone this year? It seems like there are always a couple that nobody can see coming. Last year was Rodney and Johnson and 2011 was Putz and Axford. Who's it going to be this year? My early guess is Greg Holland.

I don't think Holland is out of nowhere.
my bet is on David Hernandez. we know that, if given the chance, he is a top notch closer. and all that's standing in front of him is a brittle and aging J.J. Putz.

Don't know wtf dodger brass is thinking- have a top 5 closer, then sign a top 30 closer in league, and then explore trades for handratty. Unless this heart thing is worse than we were led to believe, what gives?

For basic leagues that allow unlimited roster moves, that strategy would work. Leagues with move limits, however, that could be a different story.
But being a roto league, with 13 teams often times the bottom three teams start to fall out of contention pretty quickly often times one of them has a non-keeper closer type you can pry for pretty cheap OR a team ended up with 3 closers and maybe you can make a deal. There are a lot of options when it comes to finiding a closer, even with the limited pick up system we have, I still wouldnt go overboard for a closer. I might open the season with 3 lower end ones, hoping 2 of them work out and with the instability at the position through the league, a lot of teams go this route, so you can find value.
Seems everybody's jogging or heavy into health s?&t, don't tell me that I otta get rolfed, cause I love Cajun martinis and playing afternoon golf-JB from we are the people are parents warned us about

Who's going to be the closer to come out of nowhere and surprise everyone this year? It seems like there are always a couple that nobody can see coming. Last year was Rodney and Johnson and 2011 was Putz and Axford. Who's it going to be this year? My early guess is Greg Holland.
I don't think Holland is out of nowhere.
my bet is on David Hernandez. we know that, if given the chance, he is a top notch closer. and all that's standing in front of him is a brittle and aging J.J. Putz.
