I had a bad feeling when they put up the 21 for 21 saves stat. Since he took over as closer on April 18, here are the blown saves totals for some other closers:
Jim Johnson 5, Jonathan Papelbon 4, Aroldis Chapman 3, Craig Kimbrel 3. (from the Dispatch article this morning)
Mujica is probably one of those guys you actually need to use more whether you need to or not. He has to stay sharp.
