Two questions I feel strongly about:

Regarding #2, I haven't heard a single protest to changing from Saves to Saves + Holds, so I'm assuming it will go through. But if you feel strongly against, I'd like to hear it. Overall, the more I look at it, the more I think it's a good idea. By adding holds, it expands the number of players that can contribute to a category that represents 10% of the scoring. Doing this effectively de-emphasizes the statistic, one that is arguably the least representative of actual talent of any category we use. A bi-product of that will be more of a focus on the other categories a relief pitcher can contribute to (K, ERA, WHIP), which is more reflective of actual talent than opportunity.

Regarding #3, I recommend we do something with this. Many teams have been unfairly impacted by injuries in the playoffs and this would help those teams compete.
