That's an awesome explanation.

Years ago I saw a game in Atlanta and the Braves brought on a guy called Smoltz who was apparently superfast, right at the end. Didn't realise he was a closer.

Never heard of "spot relievers" either.

So, I'm guessing starters are more valuable that relivers? Which is why the salaries are so different?

Some of those salaries beggar belief.

Pimping my site, again.
