That doesn't make it right.
Where's the logic?
Scoring that way, a guy who blows 50% of his save opportuniites, which makes him less than useless IMO, winds up with a positive points total, which makes no sense when you consider that the average closer converts more than 80%.
A blown save should really have twice the negative value of a save, so if a guy converts two out of three - which still stinks - his total is zero.
if the league average for converting save opportunities is over 80%, shouldn't a guy who does much worse have a negative value?
