SPIP??? Top 50 RP of all time

Ok so after my last post i went to thinking... How can i expand on stats when it is almost impossible to find the stat (BS) for some reason MLB and other sites do not carry that stat. So i decided i can expand on the idea of BS%, for now at least i decided to go in a different direction. SPIP (Saves Per Innings Pitched) here is a list of that, unquestionably the best out of the top 50 Closers (as far as number of saves) is 1997 Randy Myers, here look for yourself.

Also you will notice the last column as SV-SVO-IP, I didn’t fully follow through with this because of the lack of data. the numbers that are there I didn’t delete because I am not finished with them, looking at that column a second time, makes me see something...can you figure out what it is??? Well I'm sure you can’t because I’m not even sure my numbers make any sense. Ok ill be back later to expand on this last column.

What I get out of SPIP is the efficiency of the Closer, for every inning pitched Myers had .76 saves. Which is/was a great way of evaluating a closer worth, and durability. Obviously if you have your Closer consistently pitching 1+ innings his SPIP will inherently go down, but along with that his ERA will go up and his Stamina will most likely go down.

The average of the SPIP score is .611 and the average IP is 78.99. Now remember these Closers are the top 50 in saves ever, so this is some top quality guys, I think may next step in SPIP to use this on YR to YR stats to see if this can stat can be used to measure a Closers efficiency.
