Great article and I’m glad the Britton for Cy Young talk is starting to get some hype. I know this is a world of advanced analytics but don’t you think at some point in time you should have stated that Britton is 35 for 35 in save opportunities this year (including the All Star game which counts for something). I believe he is the first pitcher in MLB history to start out 35 for 35 in save opportunities. I feel that is a more important stat than all the WPAs and WARs and WARFS, etc.
