Who are your favorite baseball relievers?

[Largent80]

I have a few, but I liked Dennis Eckersley.

 

[SonicHawk]

Arthur Rhodes.

 

[Subzero717]

Eric Gagne in his prime.

 

[Largent80]

Gotta throw in Goose Gossage.

 

[SonicHawk]

Trevor Hoffman was awesome to watch.

I don't know how anyone can not like Rivera, even Yankee haters.

 

[jkitsune]

I have a ridiculous fondness for Rafael Soriano, and continue to rue the day we traded him for Ramirez (for a variety of reasons).

 

[m0ng0]

Vancouver's own Randy Myers !

 

[Uncle Si]

Bobby Ayala...

(ok, no, but Eck, Goose, Charlton and Rivera)

 

[SmokinHawk]

Mariano Rivera was amazing to watch, even if he was a hated Yankee. The guy was so consistent for so long, and a total class act.

For the future, I like Aroldis Chapman. His heat is on another level.

The Sheriff, Norm Charlton was one, Goose has got to be on top of the list, guy just looked like he wanted to take your head off. Bill Caudell for a while was pretty amazing here in Seattle. Raleigh Fingers, but I don't think as a closer anyone could doubt the effect Randy Johnson had taking the mound, yeah he isn't really in the catagory but did do it and had a pretty good record.

 

[Subzero717]

For the future, I like Aroldis Chapman. His heat is on another level.

See Eric Gagne. Fireballers flame out fast but are awesome to watch while they have it.

 

[Cyrus12]

Tom Henke

 

[hawksfanohio]

I always liked Lee Smith. He racked up a ton of saves. Now I like Chapman.

 

[SouthSoundHawk]

I used to be a big fan of Joe Nathan when I actually cared about baseball (the Twins and M's seem to be under the same curse).

That and he comes out of the bullpen to this awesome gem.
