	SITT - Bruce Sutter
		In addition to his impressive numbers as a closer, Bruce Sutter pioneered the split-fingered fastball, a pitch which is still both controversial and dreaded.
		He won a Cy Young award in 1979 and finished in the top 10 in MVP balloting six times in eight years--no one, not Eckersley, nor Lee Smith, neither Rob Nenn nor John Wetteland, has come even close to that.
		He was one of the first to file for arbitration, an act considered poor form for a player with only three full seasons in.

		You have to wonder about the voters who thought that Bruce Sutter was a good pick (which, despite my hesitancy, I think is a worthy choice), but that Goose Gossage is undeserving.
		Bruce Sutter is championed by many who saw him as the guy who made modern-day closing possible, although when you look at his workload, he had more in common with Rollie Fingers or Goose Gossage.
		I saw none of Sutter, but his stats are dynamite and those who saw him continually tout his importance in the rise of the modern closer.

		It's said that Sutter changed the game in two ways: 1) he was the first "modern" closer, often being used for just one inning; and 2) he popularized the split-fingered fastball.
		Sutter's got more saves, but he racked up 40 saves -- most of his edge -- from 1985 through 1987, when he wasn't even an average major league pitcher (Quisenberry, meanwhile, recorded exactly one save in his two bad seasons).
		Sutter pitched for only 12 seasons, and in only eight of those was he actually good.

	NetShrine Discussion Forum - Bruce Sutter vs John Hiller
		Sutter has more saves, but all that means is getting outs in the 9th inning is more important than getting outs in the other innings to some people.
		Hiller is far underappreciated and Sutter is far overappreciated, but I still give Sutter the nod (barely) because he was a better post-season pitcher and fielded his position much better than Hiller.
		My first thought was that Sutter was the hands down winner (I grew up in the era that he was pitching but I only saw Hiller at the end).

		As a 20-year old, Bruce Sutter had arm surgery which placed his pitching career in jeopardy.
		Sutter helped make the split-finger fastball the pitch of the late 1970s and 1980s.
		Gripped between the index and middle fingers and thrown with a fastball motion, the ball appears to the batter as a fastball until the last few feet, when it tumbles straight down.
