You should try to unload one of those guys via trade - you're so ridiculously loaded at the position there has to be someone in your league in need of saves.
I'd try to unload Sherrill, Percival - or dangle Street/Corpas as a package deal to rid yourself of the headache altogether.

Unload Sherrill. Ray is looking very good in Orioles camp. Sherrill already approached by manager and told he is the closer, but not to expect all the saves.
I would take a wait and see attitude and Street/Corpas. See who emerges, you;ve got that luxury.
Another approach might be to package Street, say with Shrerrill in a two for one and get one player who can contribute this year. Good luck!!
Nice to see your roster. All you need is one more stud OF and maybe an upgrade at 3b or at least a platoon mate with Davis in case he isn't what you were hoping for. I'd shoot for Gordon myself.
See if you can trade Posada and Nady to a yankees fan for an upgrade in the OF then with the free spot you could add Sandoval who at catcher I like a little more than Posada, he has about hte same production wise 285/22/90 potential from a catcher, and he's less likely to get injured.
Just my 2 cents.
I'd also try packaging Kazmir and another OF for another OF upgrade then with the free spot add a SP. You have too many closers, I'd cut one of them not closing for another SP for depth.
What SP are on waivers?
Adam Jones would be a nice add, but you don't have a lot of bench to work with.
The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be!
The other SP's are Gil Meche Gavin Floyd (I cut him for Carp--maybe dumb but I went with my gut) Manny Parra Chris Volstad Mark Buehrle Phil Hughes Armando Galarraga Kuroda Andy Pettitte
I don't know if any of these guys has more upside than Anthony Reyes, who pitched well last year for Cleveland and is a classic change of scenery guy)
Other bats include: Dioner Navarro Giambi Swisher Khalil Greene Elijah Dukes Felipe Lopez Jose Guillen Carlos Lopez Mike Lowell
I'm sorry, but you've pretty much gotta to grab Sandoval with his C eligibility right now. I would dump Posada for him ASAP.
ASAP.
I would then pair Sherrill with Nady for an SP (Greinke? Derek Lowe?--you've got too few, too few SP). I'd rather own Adam Jones than Nady anywhoo. I'd pick Jones up with the free spot. Scratch that--I'd take Dukes (just saw your post)).
Then, I'd trade Streets/Corpas for a pitcher (Again Lowe jumps to mind), and take Meche. He and Buehrle are the best of the FAs. Well, them and Kuroda.
