Seems like when it's all said and done it's going to be an unbreakable record. To get to 500, you'd have to get 34 saves a year for 15 years, just doesn't seem possible.

Awesome.

 

That is a pretty remarkable feat. Congratulations to him.

Agreed. I don't think it will be broken anytime soon especially considering how up and down a lot of relievers can be.

 

If I had to bet on a guy to break the record, I would go with Francisco Rodriguez.

I will say it until the day I die: Best closer every.

that's an embarrassing typo to say until the day you die

Maddux also picked up win #338, I believe.

Unless the record is "Most Horrific Arm Injury Ever," then I would have to eliminate K-Rod from the running. I mean, seriously, doesn't that guy have to tear something soon?

 

I would nominate Papelbon from the Red Sox, but they seem intent on having him start at some point, so who knows.

Got anything else better to do than to point every typo out? I'm embarrassed for you.

Yeah, I agree on Rodriguez. He's got 'Tommy John surgery' written all over him. I was speaking more from a 'young player who's a solid closer already' point of view. Papelbon would be up there but, like you said, the Red Sox will likely make him a starter.
