jofo, what Janssen is doing in 2013 is irrelevant towards this game and his ratings, 2013 isn't finished and is not reflected in the Casey Janssen you are using. In Janssen career up to 2012 he had 31 saves and 11 Blown Saves.

He Pitched in 62 games in 2012 and while he saved 22 and only blew 3, That's only getting a save opportunity in 40% of his appearances, How many games has he pitched for you? What Month is it? How many games have you played? He had only 25 save opportunities all of the 2012 season and he has 15 for you right now, What month are you in? Are you simply using him too much, pitching him tired?

It would take a lot more information on your part to make a case for your dilemma.


up until last season (2012) he had 9 career saves and 6 blown saves. He is hardly the "Closer" you make him out to be. I suggest to you that he is Pitching up to his ability. While it would be awesome if OOTP could produce a game that would produce stats similar to what hasn't happened yet, sadly it cannot predict the future.

I will apply common analogy people use to describe under performing/over preforming players in OOTP to Casey Janssen's career...The Sample Size for Casey Janssen isn't Big enough to justify what you expect from him in this game as a Closer imho

Then again maybe your only in May and and he'll save 30 more games and only blow two for the rest of the year!
