	I was just playing around with the play index and I came across this and I thought it would make a neat different quiz. I really didn't have time to check if its been done, so if it has let me know and I'll happily take it offline or modify.

	some surprising names on here like the padre/yankee...also the first guy for houston with 157 should be 2004 not 2009

	Good mix of closers and set-up guys. Kudos!

	How you delineate which pitchers are relievers? For example, Dotel started 4 games in 2001. Do they need at least 100 strikeouts in relief appearances?

	Kim also had one start one of his years. I just played it the simple way though. I plugged it into the Play index on Baseball reference that the player must have pitched at least 90% of their games as a reliever to qualify for the list. Just used the list it gave me.

	Fun quiz, thought it was tough because so many of these guys go from dominant to awful so quickly.

	Marmol's k per 9 in 2010 was 16. The closest I've found so far was Gagne, who was at 15 in his (undeserved) Cy Young year and 14.9 another year. But yea. 16.

	And after further checking, that is apparently the record.
