Closers only pitch one inning..usually only in the game half an inning..or only 3 outs worth
At least Baines got 4-5 at bats in a game.
I always felt closers besides elite elite like M. Rivera are guys that are one or 2 bad seasons away from being the 25th guy like Axford and the list goes on..
Being a DH is fine to be in the HOF as long as they let closers in ....any number 2 starting pitcher could of been a decent closer i believe..
