Good article! Sonny is a winner and something tells me his story is going to end well.

I'm sure Sonny Gray wants to remain as a starting pitcher, but there are several examples of pitchers who were starters early in their careers who became elite relief pitchers (eg, Mariano Rivera, Dave Righetti).

John Smoltz didn't do too badly either picking up 154 saves before going back to a starter.
