You insist that there is something a machine cannot do. If you will tell me precisely what it is that a machine cannot do, then I can always make a machine which will do just that! -J. von Neumann

lol.
ERA+ is ERA compared to the league average. A 100 ERA+ is average. So, yeah, he holds up in ERA. He's had 7, 8 including this year, seasons with an ERA less than 2. Billy Wagner, a "Hall of Fame closer" according to you, as had 3.2. What the hells is ERA+. I think anyone could invent a stat to make anyone look good (Such as my "John Maine Factor"). I bet he doesn't hold up in Wins, ERA, strikeouts, the NORMAL stats.
He's not a superb strikeout pitcher, but does have a K/9 slightly less than 9, and he walks very few, and gives up few hits, career WHIP of 1.03.
And I don't know if you've noticed, but at the age of 38, he's got a 1.25 ERA and a 0.67 WHIP, with a 53:4 K:BB ratio.
Saying that Mariano Rivera is anything less than an elite closer is absolutely foolish and just shows how incredibly biased you are against the Yankees that any opinions you hold about them or their players aren't even worth taking seriously.
