Reliever highs and lows this year:

Mariano Rivera is a perfect 24 for 24 in save opportunities so far this year--every other full-time closer has blown at least 2 saves. And my poor Cards have lost many wins this year due to the lack of a dependable closer: usual closer Jason Isringhausen is a horrid 11 for 18 this year, while replacement Ryan Franklin is 14 for 18, still not up to snuff. A couple of little-known closers doing a superb job for lousy teams are Joakim Soria, 28 of 28 for KC, and Brian Wilson, 26 of 28 for SF despite a 4.81 ERA.
