Arthur Rhodes Rolaids Relief Man Award Canidate?

[RedsfaninOKC]

It always goes to closers, but this year should they look at it being not being a closer in the NL because of what he has done? What he is doing is amazing for someone his age and he just dominated night in and night out.

There is no doubt in my mind Arthur is the best reliever in the game today. But you know he'll get passed up for the guy with 45 saves and an ERA in the 3's. That's just how it works, and it's too bad because if Rhodes keeps this up(and I think he will) he should get recognized. Saves are not the most important stat when judging relievers.

[Kingspoint]

It's all based on stats, so it's impossible for him to win it because Saves are a major part of the point system.

There is no doubt in my mind Arthur is the best reliever in the game today. But you know he'll get passed up for the guy with 45 saves and an ERA in the 3's. That's just how it works, and it's too bad because if Rhodes keeps this up(and I think he will) he should get recognized. Saves are not the most important stat when judging relievers.

Agree wholeheartedly with you.

[bshall2105]

Jordan Smith in 58th, I hope he wins it.:confused:

[mlh1981]

I just hope his arms doesn't fall off between now and then, with his current usage patterns and all :(
