<p class="MsoNormal">In the end, this is not a huge issue to me, regardless of whether we stick with S, go to S+H or 2S+H. But it's kind of interesting, and I enjoy procrastinating during the lunch hour by looking at it!

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I suppose you could find odd comparisons either way, but I still like S+H better. Doubling the value of saves retains the huge value gap between 9th inning pitchers and others, and does much less to reduce the dynamic that encourages our
artificial chasing of the "closer carousel." So, to me, it's not just the relative rankings in the spreadsheets that Frank created. It's the gap. Here's one example. When you double the value of saves, Shane Greene collects twice as many counting points
as stronger pitchers like Colome, Robertson, and Betances. With S+H, Greene still ranks higher, getting the "bump" for being a 9th inning guy. But the gap is much narrower. That's a much better outcome in my view. <o:p></o:p></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">As for some odd names showing up high in the S+H rankings (Alvarado, Roe, Trivino), that just reflects our longstanding bias. They are "no-names" to us because our scoring system doesn't place any value on what they do even though they
are good pitchers.<o:p></o:p></p>

<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>

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! :-) <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">To me, the 2x saves version does a better job of identifying pitchers who can reliably hold a lead--which I think is what we're trying to measure here. For example,
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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">In general, major league managers use their best relievers later in the games, and that makes sense, since holding a lead gets more valuable later in the game.
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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
