There were a lot of folks upset that the Padres traded an old Bell for a new Street. Things couldn't have worked out better for the Padres. Only 2 blown saves over the past 2 years while saving 53 games is by far the best save percentage in baseball.
Note: The list is unfair to some of the pitchers lower on the list because they weren't closers in 2012. Not being a closer gives you a chance of a blown save while not giving you a chance to actually save the game. They scews blown save percentage for those players - like Mujica.
