.. and none of them will be worthy of Hall of Fame consideration.

Elongating bull pens in some parks may also be difficult.

With starters and closers both coming out of the bull pen, Old Hoss Radbourn's record of starting 73 games in a season could be in jeopardy.

Actually Galvin and Will White are already ahead of Old Hoss with 75 games started in a season.

Hadn't thought about that, but I could totally see that. Also somebody passing Mike Marshall's 106 games in a season


Also wonder who the first reliever will be to make the hall that isn't a closer and will a high number of Holds get them there.
