		Along with Lance Berkman being Lance Berkman, Craig Biggio finding new life (for the first few weeks of the season, at least) at age 40, and Wandy Rodriguez doing his best Roger Clemens impersonationm Ensberg and Lidge have helped the Astros to an early stint at first place in a suddenly competetive NL Central race.

		Speaking of fantastic players in their fifth year in 2005: Ichiro Suzuki and Pujols now have the required 3000 PA to appear on the career leader boards in calculated categories.
		For this reason my hunch is that Clemens will stick around for one more season to ice his claim to being the greatest pitcher of the modern era.

		If the Hall of Fame is going to let in a guy who won 116 games in a time when 30 wins wouldn't even lead the league, they'd better have a pretty damned good reason, and being the third best pitcher in your league one time isn't one.

		Eddie Rommel had 500 games in the majors and 249 starts, so he by the sparest of margins fits this loose definition of what a reliever is. The same goes for guys like Wilbur Wood, Bobby Shantz, Ron Reed and Greg Swindell.
		If we go by a stricter definition of what constitutes a relief pitcher, the top 10 would be: Wilhelm, Rich Gossage, Fingers, Lindy McDaniel, Stu Miller, Kent Tekulve, Sparky Lyle, Bob Stanley, John Franco and Jesse Orosco.
		His career replacement-level ERA is the second-lowest of all-time among pitchers with more than 500 innings, and the only player ahead of him -- Albert Spalding, yes, THAT Albert Spalding -- garnered most of his innings (98.0 percent) in only one year, with the rest in a second.
