Yes and no
and believe me I'm not discounting stats at all.
But a guy could have a .915 save percentage by having 10 games all within a range of .905 to .925
Or a guy could have a save percentage of .915 with four shut outs, and 5 games where he gave up 5 or more.
One is consistent but average.
One is erratic but able to steal games.
Stats say they are the same but you may have a lean based on whether you want the steady guy, or want to work with the erratic guy.
