Maybe no one will be given the right under almighty God to get all available saves, its just "hey, all else being equal it'll be Holland, but it if ain't equal, it'll be whatever it'll be".

I'd be cool with that. Its not quite getting away from the closer and embracing the "best reliever is the fireman" that most stat heads want, but it'd be progress.
