Over the last couple of weeks, the pool has hinged on a see-saw battle for the AL Saves lead between Mariano Rivera and Brian Fuentes. Actually, Rivera hasn't quite been able to take complete control of the lead, but each time he moves into a tie with Fuentes, Tony Wight jumps to the top spot of the pool standings. Despite missing out on his last two save opportunities due to a mild groin injury, his save in the first half of a day/night doubleheader with the Rays on Monday, moves him back into a tie for the AL lead.
Not knowing exactly where all the other categories stand due to the fact that there are games in progress as I write this, it may be a bit risky to assume that this puts Tony back on top of the pool. However, a healthy Rivera certainly bodes well for his chances.
