SAN DIEGO A.L. 1838-40, PHOENIX N.L. 1841-43, CAROLINA N.L. 1844-52, RIO GRANDE N.L., 1853

One of the best pure closers in the game. Retired 2nd all-time in saves. 13-time all-star. Led Carolina to two Sunset Series titles.

In contrast to say, Danny Curtis who surpassed him for the all-time saves lead (415 and counting) he was always dominant. Curtis has longevity on his side and while Dillard obviously contributed to a really good Carolina team for years, his K/9 ratio is crazy and there's never been any doubt that he arguably the best reliever in the game -- as evidenced by all of those all-star appearances. Had 85 career wins, a winning record to end his career too.

So I see him as SLOP's Trevor Hoffman with Curtis as Lee Smith.
