Ranking relievers is a perilous endeavor. There aren’t many guys who have the closer’s role AND the skill set to hold said role. There seem to be many guys with the role who lack the skill set (hello Mr. Melancon) or the skill set but in a crowded bullpen (one of my favorites, Paul Sewald). As such, the thoughts of four of our writers may hop all over the proverbial map today, but the aggregate could be something useful.

As always, we welcome your agreement or dissent in the comments. Bring on the pain, gamers...
