Blazek isn't on the roster. He's on the way to Memphis. For crissakes Kelly is better than Boggs.

Franklin was great for a year, Motte was nails last year, Mujica has been incredible this year. Even Salas did a respectable job in the role before he gave way to Motte. |

Closers don't last long because all relievers are failed starters. Shittier pitchers don't last as long as good ones. Occam's Razor.

All the closer woes just seem to stick in my mind eternally when compared to other shit. Speaking of that (random closer memory): Remember when Dennis Eckersley blew a game for us and he received some boos from the fans and he paced around angrily, muttering what appeared to be something along the lines of, "**** you mother****ers. Kiss my ****ing ass"??? God, my dad wanted to beat the shit out of Eckersley for the longest time after that. |

Ninety-nine percent of closers are throwers, not pitchers. They rely on velocity and blow their arms out every appearance. As they age, like all pitchers, their velocity declines, and 93 is a hell of a lot easier to hit than 99. Since almost none of them have tertiary pitches, unless they have an offering that is truly dominant (Hoffman's change, Rivera's cutter), it's harder to keep hitters off balance, especially when they see you often and you can't overwhelm them with power.

Which is why i miss Isringhausen, he was lights out as a closer but was yet another failed starter with the Mets.
