You blow... (#6)

...no Chase Utley or Ryan Howard - no matter the criteria - blows.

OK.. (#7)

I understand your anger here..Philly fan...but Utley is nearing 57(actually he's 27), so YOUNG doesn't really apply to him. Howard is 26, and although a rookie-type, he's still 26. Dan Uggla could be on here if 26+ was the title.
Young is 17-24 with the way the league is now.
Jenks and Papelbon could be too old if they weren't some of the youngest closers in the league...Joel Zumaya should be on this list if those guys are...I'd take him before both of them..yes..before both of them.

Okay. I'm pretty sure they aren't 25 or under.

Both are 25; but at 25, they both are the most dominating for their age, their age being younger than the majority of closers, at 25.

I was replying to AF. You're right about the closers.
