Brad Lidge

Stats – 4 years; 100 Saves; 228 SO; 12 Post-Season Saves

Awards – 1 All-Star Game, Comeback Player of the Year, 4th in 2008 CY Young, 8th in 2008 MVP

Franchise Career Records – 5th in All-Time Saves, 4th Most Saves in One Season

I can hear Harry now. “Brad Lidge does it again and stays perfect for the 2008 season. 48 for 48 in save opportunities, and let the city celebrate!”

Must I say more than that? Brad Lidge has a very good chance of making that wall despite being in town for only four years and struggling with injuries towards the end.
