I don't even know where to start...maybe the recent Phillies bullpen, or the 90's Mariners pen.
Jose Mesa and Tony Alfonseca come to mind immediately.

This is looking more and more like one of those "name every closer in the league" threads.

I'm not even sure how Mesa is still pitching!
He was a BP fastball pitcher last yr, when he gets anyone out it is basically luck at this point.
And I'm not kidding, I've seen Mesa pitch hundreds and hundreds of times, he is just trying to get it over at this point, which is pretty much all he ever did , the big difference now is he has no zip and is very hittable.
He was Charlie's 4th option until the injuries set in and even then Mesa wasn't used unless it was absolutely a last resort, but with the Phils pen that was still every other night.

Wagner use to be about as automatic as anyone!
Will never forget last summer when he took three years off my life in a matter of 3 weeks.

Mesa, for sure, guy burned me back to back on Bucs one season. Lidge, when his lights went out and almost cost me 25-1 on Rastros. Go back to total jackoff Rocker. And worst of worst Donnie Moore.

1 pitch away from the save, he looked decent as well before the gofer ball was given up.. mixing speeds keeping them off their toes... then keppinger pulls a dorn at SS and short arms that ground ball...

Not a closer, but a relief guy I love to see come in the game if I'm on the opposite side is Rick White.
Shit, I just checked it out and it appears old Rick is without a team. Damn it.
