Starter. They are the hooses and the ones you go to when you need a win. Think about it do we ever really debate who is the best relif pitcher ofd all time, not really. Relief pitchers are a dime a dozen but a top shelf starter is rare

I'd go with starter just because I would like to be able to mentally prepare for each outing. I dunno how I would do as a reliever, always being told they are needed 10 minutes beforehand.

starter...... but like the number 6 guy in the rotation. I'd just like to sit in the bullpen and catch home runs and sell them on EBay, then I'd be making a sweet living.
Awwwww, I almost have a straight!

Starter for sure, I pitched in high school and college. Being a reliever sucks especially in cold weather, they give you about 2 minutes to get ready sometimes and you can't even feel your hands. Being a starter you can get into a routine which really helps alot. Plus starters make more and a closer is supposed to be the most stressful job there is in baseball. Most closers don't last too long, for every Rivera there is 10 Rocker's or guys that weren't even as good as Rocker.
