Is this the best ever ATG8 relief pitcher season?

Check out the season Bobby Jenks had at a cap of $140 mil DH in an expansion team franchise league with liberal player eligibility rules:

I doubt it, but I bet it's the best Bobby Jenks season in ATG ever.

Well, Jenks hasn't had an ATG8 card for all that long. But 54 saves is an extraordinarily high amount and his ERA of 1.34 is amazingly low. It will be tough for Jenks, or any relief pitcher for that matter, to beat that performance.

That is an incredible season, Bernie! That ERA at that cap is particularly impressive.

That was my team that Jenks did that for. The most saves for any pitchers that I have had is 56 by Arroyo. I have had multiple 50 save seasons [B.J. Ryan , Rodney and Arroyo again]. A lot of good Jenks did for me in the play-off as Bernie knocked me out in the first rd.
