While we all hope last year was a fluke and The King will bounce back and retake the throne, there were no indications of that on the horizon. So how about a move to the bullpen, more specifically, the Mariners closer? Here are 5 starters in recent history that have found success transitioning to the bullpen.
First things first, Felix Hernandez does not deserve to be relegated/demoted to the bullpen (well statistically maybe). He is our King, we hold him in high regard for a reason. He has dominated baseball for well over a decade, only missing substantial time once.
