Dennis Eckersley, a Hall of Fame closer, says the position is overrated in baseball.
"I don't want to take away anything from what I did," Eckersley said. "But it's not as tough as you think."
Eckersley works as a broadcaster for the Boston Red Sox currently.
"You can find somebody to do it," he continued. "You could groom somebody to do it who's on the staff, if you manage it the right way. I mean, think about it: the tougher job is to come in with guys on base, because he's got to be quicker to the plate and he has to hold runners on."
