I don't know if it's easy to be a closer considering there's only a handful of reliable closers out there. Look at the Dodgers last year for instance...Gagne goes down and Brozaban puts up a 5.11 with only 21 saves. A healthy Gagne gives them the division title.
I'm sure we could argue the merits of both the closer and DH's place in the Hall for quite a while though.
As for Don Mattingly, he's essentially Will Clark in a more popular uniform.
