True, but with elite guys you'd think a Rivera, Hoffman, etc. would still be the best option and it still seems starters are better than true closers. Even with closers ratings being better than starters the starters seem to still be better, even as setup or in a tourney which is kind of a shame. Other bullpen guys' roles would definitely be better with a great starter. Especially since poor starters end up in the middle / long relief role.
