Francisco Rodriguez picked up his 50th save for the Angels quicker than any other closer by an eight game margin. At this point, with the Angels playing as well as they are, specifically with the strength in their starting pitching, it seems that Rodriguez will certainly break the record.  Which, one would figure, would secure the Cy Young for the free agent-to-be. But Fox Sports says that Rodriguez shouldn't win the award because he isn't having all that great of a season, and also because saves are more situational than anything else (it depends on chances more than skill).
