how many saves do you think Scott Williamson and Mariano Rivera have at the end of the season? I would say about 30-35 for both of them but Williamson could fall apart and Rivera doesn't seem to get many opportunities since the Yankees are scoring so much.

Saves are a very funny animal, they really have less to do with how well you pitch and more to do with when you pitch ... I had Williamson figured for 22-28 to start the season, if he stayed healthy, and he may beat me there ... Mariano was totally iffy with his health issues, but your 30-35 seems fair enough.

Then again, what do I know about pitching: I had Koch as a contract player and picked Derek Lowe early!!!! :hmm:
