For a season and a half, the Boston Red Sox had a closer that would make every game an adventure with quite possibly the most consistently nerve racking pitching I have seen from the bullpen – say hello to Heathcliff Slocumb.
Slocumb will forever be remembered as the player traded to Seattle for Derek Lowe and Jason Varitek. Who could blame Seattle since they did finish first in the American League West and did need some extra arm – even of questionable quality – out of their bullpen.
