Halls of Relief

Not much blogging this morning, as I’m finishing up my Established Win Shares analysis of the AL Central, which is on deck for tomorrow morning (early preview: the Central stinks). In the meantime, if you haven’t already, head on over and check out the conclusion of Mike Carminti’s seemingly interminable but fascinating “Halls of Relief” series (I’ve only had time to read parts of it myself), in which he wraps up his history of relief pitching by stacking up the greatest bullpens of all time (there’s also links to the rest of the series). Nobody goes off on a tangent quite like Mike Carminti; he’s practically got enough material there for a book.
