Drafting the wrong closer can lead to a headache for fantasy managers, particularly when the pitcher shows signs of declining performance. This article identifies five relief pitchers to avoid in this draft season, all with high Average Draft Positions (ADP). David Bednar of the Pittsburgh Pirates, with a 5.77 ERA last season, has concerning metrics and an ineffective fastball. Pete Fairbanks from the Tampa Bay Rays also raises red flags due to health issues and declining strikeout rates. Ryan Pressly, now with the Chicago Cubs, has seen his effectiveness drop, posing a risk despite his experience. Robert Suarez of the San Diego Padres had solid saves but poor strikeout rates, and Alexis Diaz of the Cincinnati Reds is on the IL, making him a risky draft choice. Each of these pitchers could prove to be a costly mistake this season.
