    A friend told me to reduce my relievers down to 3 while getting an expected 20-30 saves out of them each. I have
    Ryan Dempster
    Dan Wheeler
    Akinori Otsuka
    Al Reyes

    I'm leaning towards dropping Wheeler since Lidge isn't permanently out as closer if he makes $5.6 million. Otsuka has been playing perfectly since replacing Gagne. Reyes, despite his other stats have been a saves machine. Dempster has been my best reliever for the season....

    The wires have been tempting as well. David Weathers is there, but I've been reading the hype on Jason Frasor. BJ upton is out for at least 2 months, and Frasor's current avg's w/o saves have been excellent.

    Who are your choices if you can keep only 3?

    My other pitchers...
    Johan Santana; Chris Capuano; Kyle Lohse; Carlos Zambrano; John Maine; Phil Hughes
    DL- Mike Mussina; Pedro Martínez

    i'm not sure how the scoring works in your league, but depending on how much weight is given numbers like era and whip vs saves i'd drop him if he isn't getting any saves.
