K-Rod and the Saves Record

Francisco Rodriguez is an pace for over 60 saves, surpassing Bobby Thigpen's 17 year old record of 57. K-Rod now has 54 saves for the Angels, with 25 games left. At his current pace, he'd likely end up with about 63, although I wouldn't be surprised if the Angels give him a bit of a well-deserved break down the stretch, after the record's broken, if they've got their playoff position secured.
