I disagree on that.
They used 3 closers that year and Cotts + Polite were the only reliable arms night in and night out.
Those 3 closers all had shaky moments throughout the year. Shingo was bad. Hermanson had a bad back. Jenks was a rookie who actually blew a save in the WS.
All the credit to me goes on that starting staff. They carried that team to a Championship.
