Well it is a HOF thread, so the conversation gravitates towards Mo. Guess the Red Sox fans I interact with are not representative of the whole. Which is comforting. We can disagree a bit on the true value of a closer, but don't think we are that far off. Much like the DH, I think unless you are truly exceptional, your value is not as high as it is for other positions. Mo is one of those exceptions, and was preemptively making the argument to any who would imply he didn't deserve the 100%. In 5 years it likely won't matter, because there will likely be 2-3 more who get 100% now that the barrier has been broken now.
