Since this started as an Astros thread, I will attempt to dazzle the readers with a connection between the last post and the first.

Octavio Dotel. When he first came to the Astros he was a starter, then set up, then became a closer - I believe this was after Lidge imploded the season following the Pujols blast, but not sure. As I recall Dotel carped about it at the time, but more senior pitchers told him it would be good for his career in the long run.

Reminds me of some lyrics from a country song. "I'm not as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I ever was."

No HOF angle, but it was the best I could do on a connection.
