Default Re: Why aren\'t setup men paid better?

There really isn't much difference between a good setup man and a good closer. /captain obvious

I wouldn't sign any one-inning reliever to a large or long term contract at typical free agent prices.

Closers are paid so much because most GMs don't realize any of this.

p.s. jim hendry sucks.

The Red Sox tried this a few years ago. Didn't work out so well.
