Saves in Review for May 15

Starting today I will post a review of the nights saves and who made them. This should help owners who are in need of saves to recognize trends and hopefully find the diamond in the rough that is needed to secure a fantasy championship.

The Usual Suspects
BJ Ryan (7), J. Rauch (9), Kerry Wood (8), Troy Percival (10), Jose Valverde (11), Bobby Jenks (8), and B. Lyon (12).

Stupid BS
J. Isringhausen (6) - With his 6th blown save and his 3rd in his last 5 outings owners should be extremely worried. Keep him on your bench for now and see if he can gain his confidence back and start closing out games and grabbing an S instead of a BS. Like usual, try and see if there is any interest for a trade. Direct your attention to the bottom feeders of the saves categories.

Francisco Rodriguez - It wasn't a BS but it was still a loss. He came in with the game tied at 3 but couldn't keep it that way by allowing Jim Thome to drive in AJ Pierzynski.

Eye Openers
Masa Kobayashi (2) - As mentioned in the previous post, Kobayashi has picked up his 2nd straight save in as many games. Grab him from the wire and stick him into your lineup!
