I strongly believe that the keys to this game, as evidenced by BL's and JL's recent wins, are timely pick-ups and strong starting pitching.
Agreed, along with a strong bullpen. A good bullpen will get you double digit points every day.
You're right. Not only can they earn points, but if you manage to avoid blown save/losses, that's huge.
I'm still trying to figure out the usefulness of RP's. I believe they are key to winning but not necessarily in the closer role. I think being on top of the game and riding setup pitchers (holds) while they are on a hot streak can help, just as long as you dump them before they slump. It's tricky.
While the top closers are extremely valuable, what are you giving up to draft them? That's the hard part. I'm not sure it's worth it. I have a feeling I will be analyzing that position forever.
