<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">To Jim's point re multiple holds being available per game, the main thing I was trying to do w/ my approach is to value both holds and saves equally,
<u>relative to the number of saves and holds available</u>. The ratio was pretty close to 2:1 last year (actually about 2.1:1). So if we go to a 2:1 ratio, then we'd be valuing all available holds and all available saves approximately equally. I think if
you look at Buddha's comparison, the most obvious and questionable shifts in value involve middle relievers that aren't particularly good pitchers but get a lot of appearances in the sixth or seventh inning--e.g., Chaz Roe. To me, those guys are greatly overvalued
by a 1:1 ratio. Particularly when you get down to the guys below about the top 20, the 1:1 ratio gives substantial value to some guys who just aren't very good pitchers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"New serif","serif";color:black">That’s assuming that everyone’s goal is to value saves and holds equally important. From my perspective, I’d like to recognize holds as having some value but I
still view saves more important for several reasons. Like it or not but saves are an official statistic of MLB but I don’t believe holds are. Only 1 save can be given out in a game whereas more than 1 hold can be given. Baseball is a tradition bound game
more than most sports and the save and closer has the tradition behind it whereas holds do not. If we all want to go total saber, we’d get rid of Wins and BA too. So in sum if we make a change, I’m in favor of weighting saves more heavily. And no on future
requests to have a WAR or OPS+ category! :-) </span><span style="font-family:"New serif","serif";color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

the version that values saves and holds equally says that Jose Alvarado is third in the league. He's a good reliever, but I don't think he was more reliablelast year than Trienen or Chapman. Similarly, the equally weighted version says the Chaz Roe (Chaz
Roe?) was the sixth most reliable holder of leads in the AL. That's nuts.</span><span style="font-family:"New serif","serif";color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

A clean ninth inning improves the team's likelihood of winning more when there are fewer innings left to play. So, at least to my eye, the 2x approach does a better job of rewarding better relievers. </span><span style="font-family:"New serif","serif";color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
