Hey Hey Hansel!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Hansel Robles is 4-0 this season! He's on a pace to go 28-0!

I know that wins and losses aren't the most meaningful of stats, and that's especially true of relief pitchers. But it's interesting as a statistical quirk to see a reliever leading the team in wins. The only time that's happened over a full season in Mets history is in 1983, when Jesse Orosco won 13 games.

I know how steep the odds are against it, but wouldn't it be great to see him win 20 games this year? What a fun oddity that would be!

I'm all for it. I like Hansel!

Years ago, I had a middle reliever win 20 games in OOTP. He had twelve or thirteen late in the season, so I decided to put him in every chance I could for him to get a legitimate bullpen W. He reached 20, which was cool, until the following offseason when he demanded a Cy Young-like salary bump. Sorry, pal.

That's great.

I always thought if you used relief aces the way they should optimally be used: putting them in tie games in the eighth or sometimes as early as the seventh, the best would be getting 20 wins to go with 20 saves.

Roger McDowell '86: 14 wins, 22 saves

I'm all for any pitcher on the roster winning 20 games.
