Saito is the fukking man.

Yeah, I've been saying he's the best in the NL for a few months, but Putz is still the best in baseball, with Saito and Paps a close 2nd and 3rd.

I don't think I've lost any money this year because of these guys...can't say that about anyone else....

RJT...the before and after is hillariously awesome....

Thanks. I thought I'd bust out this avatar with the Sox/Yanks series starting Tuesday.

I am big believer in the East Coast bias. Half the country is asleep when Saito is closing out games, tough to get recognition this way.

I think Joe Nathan is the best closer myself, without any comparison.

Nathan 28 saves ERA 1.74 57.0 innings 44 hits 11 BB 58 K's

Saito still better...but Nathan definitely top five...

Isringhausen (amazingly) deserves to be mentioned with the best this year.

WestsidePete · 08-28-07, 01:43 AM

You're right...didn't even realize the year he's having
Isringhausen 28 saves ERA 1.47 55 innings 29 hits 21 BB 47 K's

Izzy has definitely been under the radar..

WestsidePete · 08-28-07, 01:59 AM

has totally saved their season and helped give them a chance to win the division..although once Soriano is back, the Cubs will roll to win the division at this point I think...Brewers totally blew it...Cards could sneak in...but Brewers are done

Putz is the best. That's it.

BatemanPatrickl · 08-28-07, 10:50 AM

Bob Wickman was decent...

imgv94 · 08-28-07, 11:56 AM

Valverde has a lot of saves..

But Saito is still the best
