who really cares?! his 17 saves should erase anyone's animosity towards him. and who cares about his 4 blown saves? he can have 20 blown saves by seasons end for all i care, as long as he gets 50+ saves! oh wait, he IS on pace... and he's not hurting ur averages in the process! what more do you want?
what was the question, folks? did graves look bad. yes, he looked bad. and yes, he almost always looks bad.
his offense frequently picks him up--which helps, and is more reason to triumph in your fantasy ownership of #32.
the defense behind him is occasionally able to snare the rocket-shot to all fields--and another reason to be jubilant as a graves owner.
and he has had a lot of save opps--another great reason.
so, while i think he's awful, and a nightmare to watch--night in and day out--he continues to provide respectable fantasy numbers, and that's what you guys who own him really want.
but he still looked horrendous. as per the norm. just had to throw that in there again.
Yeah, he looked really horrible as he struck out three of the four batters he faced after giving up one longball to arguably the hottest hitter in baseball right now.
idiots.
"One of the teams represents truth, justice, the American way, and underdogs everywhere. The other represents George Steinbrenner!" - U.S. News and World Reports columnist John Leo on the difference between the Mets and the Yankees.
take it easy gents. All I know is Graves is getting saves and has respectable era and whip numbers, so he is a good fantasy producer who I am happy to have on my roster. He may not be the best closer in real life but that ain't gonna stop me from dropping him. Next year he is probably going to loose his job to Wagner anyway.
All that matters is the saves? The dude is a walking time bomb. He's blown 4 saves already. He'll blow a lot more. And just wait. You'll see the ERA and WHIP get blown out of the water too.
So this rookie in our fantasy league sends me an email today and asks if I would consider trading Pujols to him for Graves. Of course I let him down easy....when I quit LMAO!

He's in the Herges, Biddle, Koch tier of closers.
Exactly. Although I like to use the term walking disaster.
18 SV out of 22 SVO is not that impressive. Hell almost any closer in baseball could produce that ratio.
The only difference is the guy gets so many SVO. I guess that makes him good.
