Dodgers: Comparing Kenley Jansen to Eric Gagne in his prime

Kenley Jansen and Eric Gagne are without a doubt the two greatest closers in Dodgers history; both pitchers are ranked one and two in career Dodgers’ saves respectively. You can make the argument that Jansen is already the all-time greatest Dodgers closer because of his sustained success and longevity.

Jansen has already nearly doubled Gagne on the amount of seasons he has been a Dodgers closer. This season is Jansen’s sixth season as closer while Gagne only was healthy enough to pitch three seasons as a closer, he only played in 16 games his last two years with the team.
