Game Changers: How to save the save rule

As it’s written, the save rule no longer works, and it’s time to rewrite it. My solution? Use Win Probably Added (WPA). There are simply better ways to evaluate a reliever’s performance than by giving the glory to the guy who gets the last three outs, especially in games where the heavy lifting happened in the eighth inning. Or the seventh inning. Even the sixth inning.
