The target for saves is 89-94. If you have two top closers you can make it, otherwise you may need 3. Any more then that and you start to give up wins and k's.

Very few people will expend the draft picks to get two 45 save pitchers and even then would probably be disappointed as predicting 40+ saves with any accuracy is more a function of luck than analysis. If most end up with 70 to 75 saves from thier top two closers, they are estatic. To get to 80% of available points for saves, you need in the NFBC between 85 and 88 saves (at least that was the case in four of the last five NFBC's). For that, you need to find 10-15 saves. That is about half of a full time, second tier closer, or that guy who has the job half the year, or how ever else you can cobble it together.
Good luck.
