In this instance, the AI might well be light years ahead of real baseball.

I vehemently disagree with paying elite "closers" that kind of stupid money.

Kimbrel's contract: 2014: $7M, 2015: $9M, 2016: $11M, 2017: $13M
2018 Team Option: $13M ($1M buyout)

For someone who will pitch 75-85 innings a season. Yes, he'll pitch them at an absurdly high level, but... really?

Total misallocation of resources, IMO. The 'save" stat needs to be done away with or rewritten.
