Kb my friend, you gotta stop using ERA+ to value closers, they ALL have high ERA+s, they pitch one inning, their job is to not allow runs. You did the same thing while evaluating Gregg and Wood. ERA+ is a starting pitcher stat.
That said, I agree Lidge for Bourn was always a win for the Phillies from the start.
