[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1473389, member: 26283"] Continuing to clear out the dead weight on the roster. Speaking of the bullpen... Misleading stat of the year... The Cubs bullpen is 5th in the league in ERA at 4.18. But they're 13th in the league in save percentage only converting 56.52% of their save opportunities. That's right, the bullpen blows about 4 out of every 9 leads it gets. If they were just league average in converting saves, they'd have 3 or 4 more wins and be a couple games up in first place. The Cardinals are tops in the league in converting saves at 79.07% League average is 64.09%. The bullpens are quite literally the difference between the Cubs and Cardinals this year. [/QUOTE]
