Heck, I'm not sure he's even the 3rd best relief pitcher. I would put both Rivera and Papelbon ahead of him. If you're going to tout his record number of saves, you also have to consider his 7 blown saves. I wouldn't have Dice-K in the top 5 either. In my book, a Cy Young pitcher had better average at least 6.5 innings per start. Dice-K only averaged 5.8. K-Rod shouldn’t be in the top 5. Heck, I’m not sure he’s even the 3rd best relief pitcher.
