Sometimes you have to make the tough calls. Eck wasn't really a closer in Boston. And I put Koji in over Pap because, while Pap has a ton more saves, Koji has been that dominant in his brief time with Boston.

Eck never came out of the bullpen in Boston.

Soria has to be on that staff
Greinke over Gubicza IMO

But you have to have 4 other starters you listed.

I'd put Kevin Appier on the Royals staff as well, gotta keep Splitt and Sabes. Grienke belongs in there. I'd take off Gubiscza and Gura, Ape and Grienke were just better pitchers at their best.

Soria was lights out for a few years, he'd go in the pen. Wade Davis might be in the midst of the best season ever by a setup guy, a stat I will proudly proclaim after doing no research.

Its too bad that baseball hasn't remembered Quiz, lots of young fans have no clue who he was.
