Graves was the closer in Cincy from 99-02. He was always a fairly descent closer. Not the best, but for the most part he was good enough. They made him a starter last year but he was pretty bad (posting an ERA over 5). They put him back in the closer role at the very end of last season. He has 21 saves this year, but he's also already blown 4. His ERA is 3.00 (nothing too special for a closer) and he's allowing way too many longballs. That's one of the problems with saves. Just like RBI, only positive results are the main focus. Both should really be looked at as a state derived from success and opportunity. I think it would need to be something different than a raw percentage though because success should be weighted higher than opportunity.
