same as starting pitchers..some are great for a year or 2 then disappear as well
sometimes it only takes a 2h of the year to implode
my comparison is HOF starting pitchers versus HOF closers so there is no cherry picking...i just can see the HOF starting pitchers doing a better job at closing then the closers could ever do as starting pitchers.
