How many saves will Dempster get in 2006?

I was just wondering what you all thought about Dempster.
I think he will be the reason they do or don't go all the way. I'm looking forward to a great season by Dempster.

I'll optimistically guess somewhere around 45.

35 - 40, hopefully. ;)

[The Big C]

I'd have to agree with E.Banks#14.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

At least 30 would be a good goal, with less than 8 blown saves of course ;)

Yeah, I'm more concerned with his success rate than the actual number he gets. As long he keeps that rate in the same neighborhood as last year, he will be rock-solid.

40 saves wouldn't be impressive at all if he blows 15. I'd much rather he only gets 25 saves with 0 blown chances.

Precisely 37, with 4 blown saves. :cool:

Despite I am a Cardinals fan, I'm going with a modest 35-40 saves. That is as long as he stays healthy and avoids injuries.

I'm guessing probably 35-40 with only 3-5 blown saves (which is in the acceptable category)

[Southlake CubsFan]

35-40 sounds good

[Larry Biittner]

11 saves, blown out arm....
