Starting Pitchers
Over the years starting pitching roles have changed. Back in the early stages in baseball they were the only pitchers sometimes throwing 250 pitches on 2 days rest. But of course they were throwing 50 miles to 60 miles per hour. Now a days pitchers can throwing 90 miles and 100 miles an hour. They have to pitch on 5 days rest and they can only last about 6 or 7 innings and they call that a quality start. Then they will turn it to the bullpen. Some pitchers like Nolan Ryan and now a day pitcher Cliff Lee are pitchers that don't usually need the bullpens help as they can go 8 or 9 innings they are considered the star of the staff or the ace.
5 tool outfielders
There are many greats to the game. Then there are 5 tool outfielders, these are guys that have a great arm are fast, very good defensively can hit well and hit with power. One of the greatest 5 tool out fielder is Willy Mays. He was a Giant Great hitting over 550 home runs, he made some f the greatest plays in baseball history and he is one of three members in the 40/40 club 40 home runs and 40 stolen bases in a single season. 5 tool out fielders are a rarity to have Josh Hamilton would be considered one, but there are not too many in today's game.
