I'm always learning here from those who are smarter than me (not a tough task).
I have never designed a NON R/C to the "closer role," because I thought HAL would avoid using him.
I do understand that the "N" rating is asking for trouble, BUT can I assume that with the designation of "Do not use before the 9th inning" coupled with "Quick hook," that a very good R1, R2 or R3 with NO Closer rating could be just as effective for that one inning than a similar quality R/C?
