Circumstantial saves

I like the way Grady Little is playing with the idea of a circumstantial save being given out to whoever can do the job in the inning(s) prior to the ninth (with the lead). In the last two games with the lead (@ Giants and @Colorado) he inserted Joe Beimel and Takeshi Saito (said to be the temp closer) with very good results. The Dodgers registered two Ws quite easily.

Maybe that's the right way to go? Don't annoint one reliever as THE closer in between now and as soon as Baez regains consciousness and/or Eric Gagne comes back from elbow injury and just go cirmcustantial? Sure it would dispatch SV numbers among several relievers, but at the same time should give better results than imploding by THE closer...

Just my two cents :)
