Soria and Lindstrom
I'm considering punting saves for the rest of the season (12 team H2H league). So I'm trying to gauge how much I can get from these guys. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm thinking of trading for SP's. So who should I target?

Why would you punt saves? It's May 10th.

Why not? Just because it's only May 10th doesn't mean it's not a viable strategy. I would most likely replace them with low whip/era middle relievers and go from there. Plus it's a H2H league with 5x5 category wins. I could win all other categories and win each week 9-1 even if I punted saves.

I am not a fan of punting saves. I don't like it personally.
Soria should get you much more though then Lidstrom.

I'm not a fan of it either but it looks like I might have to. Saves are way overvalued in our league and any potential saves get scooped up way too quick. I'll give a bigger picture...
Current Relievers:
Soria
Lindstrom
Perez
Francisco
If Perez and Francisco get their jobs back, I most likely won't punt saves, but if they don't, and Lindstrom eventually pitches his way out of the closer role (which he has done before)... then I'm stuck with a single closer that will pretty much guarantee that I lose saves every single week.
I'm trying to pro-active and gauge the value of each guy to see if it's worth it to me. I'd try to target a pitcher like Verlander for Soria. The value of closers is tough... I also traded Qualls last year straight up for Scott Baker in this same league so I'm looking for a similar deal for Lindstrom.
