    ...that baseball's best closer is a former starter that had to hire a psychiatrist to help him get past his problem of finishing out games??

    Ummmmm. I'll have an order of "you certainly can argue that gagne is better" please. And they were both starters (but I don't know if gagne ever started in the majors).

    Gagne may get the job done but he is going to give his manager heart failure before years end. 2.09 whip is teetering on a disasterous inning. He will get eventually get bitten in the ass.

    His ERA is 2.03 (I assume that is what you were talking about). His WHIP is 0.61 (vs. Smoltz's 0.90).

    What does WHIP stand for? Walks+Hits per Innings Pitched?
