@Scott, damn you’re right. I forgot about Shingo. He did start the year as the closer after saving 19 games in 2004; but he completely sucked and ended up getting demoted to the minors and then cut in August.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Didn’t Shingo start the year as the closer before they moved Hermanson into the role?

Great article. Makes me want to read the book as well. Like you said, this just adds to the awesomeness that is Bobby “F#@king” Jenks
