I really don't know, Rob. I kind of like that there are no rigid guidelines because I enjoy the discussions when there is a controversial award choice. I guess I would give the most weight to ERA and the factors that led to it (park, team defense, opponents).

I agree with you about the save stat and the blown save stat is even worse. A middle reliever can enter the game in the seventh w/no chance of a save because he obviously will not finish the game. However, if he enters w/a man on third and no outs he gets a blown save if the runner scores.

Good arguments on all sides, folks....keep it up!
