I figure BJ's injury is going to last longer than expected thus Frasor should do it with a total in the 20's while Marcum and Janssen get about 5-10 each.
This will be quite odd as last year a total of 4 saves by non-BJ Ryan people occurred, with none having more than 1. Just 3 had saves other than Batista in '05 with none having more than 2. 2004 had Frasor as the leader at 17, Speier 7, Batista 5, and 3 more guys with 2-3 saves each. In '03 (86 wins) we had a 14 saves from Lopez, 12 from Politte, 4 from Escobar, 3 from Miller, and 1 each from Tam & Towers.
2003 shows how you can win without a big save guy (the Jays 99 win season had a peak of 14 as well by Tom Henke with 4 others having saves also). Losing BJ hurts, but having a deep bullpen is far more important than having a closer and I think we have that this time.
