Is that implying that he is the worst closer in baseball?

No, just that he is only an above average, not great, closer.

As in the past, RSR, you underrate him. Metsguy, you overrate him.

He's a very good closer. One of the top closers in the league. He's NOT the best closer in the league.

This goes for most teams. The closer that lasts for a long time at a high level is rare.
