Top Ten?????? Part Last

I received the final email from fantasybaseball.com tonight giving me their top 10 relief pitchers. Without further ado here is the list

1.Jonathan Papelbon
2.Francisco Rodriguez
3.Joe Nathan
4.Jose Valverde
5.Mariano Rivera
6.Joakam Soria
7.Brad Lidge
8.Johnathan Broxton
9.Matt Capps
10.Kerry Wood

Honorable Mention
Francisco Cordero, Brian Fuentes, Carlos Marmol

As with the other two lists I have some problems with this one. I beleive the key when looking at closers are twofold 1.oppurtunity-obviously a closer on a better team gets more chances 2.competition-you don't want a guy who has someone who has someone else in their own pen who can take his job ie. Colorado last year, it was just a matter of time before Manny Corpas blew one or two then Brian Fuentes took his job. There are a few other factors but those are the 2 biggies.
