Brian Wilson
3 July 2008
tant factor—it’s not at all unusual for a closer on a losing team to rack up his share (Brian Wilson of the 37-48 Giants currently leads the NL with 23 saves). In some ways, it’s easier for a losing team to get more saves, since their win margins tend to be tighter. A real juggernaut will tend to blow out other teams, leaving no room for saves. Thigpen recorded 57 in large part because he was only one of five closers in baseball history with 57 save opportunities.
