This is for JD, of course... This guy has tried to tackle the "crucial situations" context for bullpen guys:

Naturally I wouldn't post it if it didn't end "The impact of an 80-inning reliever is no more than that of a 160-inning starter. And that's how we should view them." And I've pushed Gossage and Sutter for the Hall in the past, so he's more contrary on reliever value than I am.

"The impact of an 80-inning reliever is no more than that of a 160-inning starter."

i pretty much agree w/ that! but even viewed that way gagne should've gotten at least as much consideration for the cy as pedro martinez did.

things i disagree with: the raw statistical HoF eval method; not, at least to some extent, comparing relievers against other relievers instead of against all pitchers.

“You know what your role is? When your phone rings and your name’s called, go get people out,” (Bo)Porter said. “That’s your role. That’s why you’re in the bullpen.”

As Ben Lindbergh said today, it's easier to say this when you don't have a closer.
