Saves must be a weird stat for sims to get a handle on - there’s a ton of variables in how closers are used. Guys might lose the job for a few weeks to get their stuff back together, a team might try other guys in the role late in the year, a manager might keep a middle reliever in with a 2 run lead against a weak team. I can live with some amount of save inflation in a sim universe.
