Jonathan Broxton appeared in 694 Games over his Major League Baseball career and never started any of them as he was either a closer, a set-up man or in some other form of relief.  Broxton’s best two years were with the Los Angeles Dodgers where he went to back-to-back (2009-10) All-Star Games.  In L.A. he was the closer for a time and he peaked with a 36 Save campaign in 2009.  He would later play for Kansas City, Cincinnati, Milwaukee and St. Louis and he would record 118 Saves over his 13-year career.

John Lackey is one of the few Pitchers in Major League Baseball to win a World Series Ring with three different teams (Anaheim 2002, Boston 2013 & the Chicago Cubs 2016) and did so as a key figure in all of them. 

A member of the Philadelphia Phillies 2008 World Series Championship team, Joe Blanton arrived in Philly as part of a mid-season trade to go for the championship.  He came from Oakland where he had a 16 Win season two years prior where he also finished 10^th in ERA.  Blanton would later play for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Kansas City Royals, Pittsburgh Pirates and Washington Nationals and would retire with a record of 101 and 97.

Joaquin Benoit spent most of his career in the bullpen in various forms of middle relief over a 16-year career that saw stops in Texas, Tampa, Detroit, San Diego and Seattle.  Benoit would have two seasons where he surprisingly finished in the top ten in Win Probability Added (2005 & 2007) when he was with the Rangers.  He would have 53 Saves and 185 Games Finished over his career.
