The expected responses were anticipated.
Ultimately if for whatever reason the “opener” achieves the status of the “closer” in the modern game, could not an opener start 50-60 games in a season? And then if the “Mariano Rivera of openers”, in terms of longevity, comes along and ends up starting 900+ games in his career, what will his legacy be with 900+ starts and 0 wins?
Other questions the modern game presents are equally as nebulous. For example with a team routinely employing a defensive shift putting the third baseman in short right field and that player gets the majority of fielding stats in that location, is it possible that he would qualify as a gold glove third baseman utilizing his skills as a short rightfielder?
Where are Abbott and Costello when we need them?
