It's a lot closer than I had expected. I was very close to voting for Plesac but Fingers' '81 was what helped me decide.

The title of this thread is "Brewers' All-Time Closer." Of those suggested, all but Plesac were only Brewers closers for maybe two seasons or so.
Fingers will always be remembered primarily as an Oakland A, and didn't do a huge amount for the BrewCrew. Likewise for the others, excepting Plesac.
The way I interpret the question, really only Plesac would qualify......

Plesac was a closer for five years.
Fingers was a closer for four years.
Fetters was a closer for three years.
Wickman was a closer for three years.
Henry was a closer for three years.
Sanders was a closer for three years.
Kolb was a closer for two years.
How does five years qualify and four years don't?

Well, Plesac had 4 good years as a closer (and 1 bad), where Rollie had 2 good, 1 bad, and 1 "incomplete."

When it counted the most in the standings, I'd have to say Rollie even if he didn't have the most saves.
