I would take Mo over Hoffman any day of the week. Hoffman also has 2 years on Mo for service time so that makes up for the difference in save total +/-. There are also the 34 postseason saves that Mo has recorded along with the lowerst postseason ERA in the history of baseball at 0.767. I would have to list Hoffman as #2

Don't forget to factor in that Hoffman played for the Padres. Rivera had the support and success of the Yankees. Not Hoffman's fault that he pitched very little in the post season.

Which makes it that much more impressive, imo.

Hoffman has nothing but two seasons worth of saves on Mo, and he started 4 years before Rivera even began closing. Rivera has been clutch in the post season where Hoffman has not. Rivera has been a World Series MVP, ALC MVP, 4 time WS Champ, it just goes on and on. And he's been dominating all these years with one pitch, in the most difficult division in baseball year in year out. I rarely disagree with you Peter, but Rivera is easily the best closer of all time imho
