Here is a look at the fantasy baseball closer report for week 12. It contains all of the most recent closer news, plus the current closers and the current handcuffs.

It took only one blown save from David Hernandez and Alfredo Simon was back in the closer role for Baltimore.  Simon picked up a save on Saturday against San Diego despite allowing a run in his inning of work.

New Arizona closer Aaron Heilman allowed two run in a non-save appearance on Thursday before picking up a save on Saturday, despite allowing a run. His past struggles in save situations makes him a questionable closer going forward, but given how many chances Chad Qualls got before being removed from the role, Heilman should be given a little bit of leeway if he blows a save or two.

Another blown save and another vote of confidence from the manager for Los Angeles Angels closer Brian Fuentes. If you own Fuentes, hopefully you have been preparing yourself in case he loses his job which could come with the next blown save. With a 6.23 ERA and 1.44 WHIP, eventually the numbers just speak for themselves. Fernando Rodney has allowed runs in two of his last three appearances, but would likely get first crack at the job if Fuentes is removed.

Huston Street was activated from the disabled list by the Colorado Rockies and will work his way back into the closer role. He was less than stellar in his rehab in Triple-A as I wrote about in the lineup planner.

If you are in a keeper league, now is the time to start looking toward next year if you have not already started planning on how to rebuild your team. Here is a look at some of the top options to become closers in 2011 that are not currently serving in that role now.

1. Daniel Bard – 2.21 ERA and .90 WHIP make it easier for the Boston Red Sox to consider trading Jonathan Papelbon.

2. Evan Meek – .68 ERA and .83 WHIP will have him closing sometime this season in Pittsburgh once Octavio Dotel is moved.

3. Drew Storen – closer of the future for the Washington Nationals who likely get a shot at the job in spring training next season.

4. Takashi Saito – a free agent next season, he could very well re-sign with Atlanta with Billy Wagner scheduled to retire. He has less value in true dynasty leagues since he turned 40 this year.

5. Jason Motte – he might have to wait another year for Ryan Franklin to retire before he closes, but he has been much better this season, with a 2.17 ERA and a 1.03 WHIP.

6. Joe Nathan – he might not be ready for the start of 2011, but at just 36-years-old to be in November, he is far from washed up. He is still under contract for $11.25 million in 2011 with a club option for 2012.
