Opening day has absolutely showed me that a way is needed to project saves from those who aren't closers. The sample size is limited since it only takes into account the first 2 days of the season (or first four days taking into account the two games in the Tokyo Dome)
In those few days there were a total of 16 save opportunities and 7 total saves. Of those opportunities, 8 were from the projected closers. The projected closers however did have 6 of the seven saves.
What does this mean?, absolutely nothing since the sample size is very limited. But as the season progresses trends should start to develop. The next update will be after the first full week of the season.
