Before this year, Mike Hazen’s philosophy had been to sign relievers who were not currently closers, but had experience of the role. The results had been... mixed. But this season apparently saw a change in direction, signing Mark Melancon who was coming off a 39-save season in San Diego. We take you back to that fateful day last November, and a SnakePit re-enactment of the conversation between Hazen and Derrick Hall. The story, all names, characters, and incidents portrayed in this production are fictitious.
