Of the 155 relievers with at least 45 innings, Workman's 1.59 ERA was 2nd best, and his 0.469 OPS was tops. Workman's 19 saves was tied for 7th best in the majors. If Somerville's fortunes had been different this year, Workman might have been Fireman of the Year. ******************************************************************* 1st runner up - Will M Smith, Miami Mangos Name Team P Age ERA OPS W L S G GS CG SHO INN H R ER BB K HR GDP Will M Smith* MIA cl 29 2.02 .541 6 3 27 56 0 0 0 66.2 40 18 15 26 79 5 10 The Mangos won 92 games and notched their 2nd playoff appearance in franchise history, and Smith certainly helped there.

Bummer also led in save opportunities with 42, and his 90.5% save percentage was best in the majors. An ERA of 2.00 and OPS against of .552 are what you would expect from an elite closer. Given that Rocklin's +174 run margin was 2nd best in the majors, one would think they wouldn't need a solid closer, yet their 32 wins in 1 run games was tops in the majors, so Bummer's presence was felt.
