holds and save opportunties:
Oscar Villarreal and Mike Myers are the best bets. Even Scott Service is a possibility.

Closer Matt Mantei and valuable setup man Mike Koplove were placed on the 15-day disabled list with right shoulder injuries, retroactive to Wednesday, and Curt Schilling's next scheduled start remains in question because of soreness on the back of his right hand.
The Diamondbacks have only five pitchers from their Opening Day roster on their current active roster, and that could change if Schilling can't at least play catch today in preparation for his start Wednesday against the Chicago White Sox.
"We've got some ideas in mind, but hopefully we won't have to go there," manager Bob Brenly said. "But if we've learned anything this year, its that you always have to have a backup plan, just in case."
Trainer Paul Lessard said Schilling would see hand specialist Don Sheridan on Tuesday if the pain persists.
"There's still swelling and quite a bit of discomfort," Lessard said.
Koplove said he has tried to pitch through pain that has persisted since the end of April but gotten worse, especially when he tried to warm up in Saturday night's 8-7 loss. He will undergo a magnetic resonance imaging exam on Tuesday.
"At this point, rest is best for it," Koplove said.
The Diamondbacks believed that Mantei's inflamed right shoulder hadn't improved enough to keep him on the active roster for a few extra days. Reliever Jose Valverde was recalled from Triple-A Tucson to take his spot on the roster.
Valverde allowed a home run to Mark Loretta but struck out three in the ninth to secure a 10-4 win.
A visibly disappointed Mantei politely declined to talk to reporters.
Collision course
Center fielder David Dellucci suffered a mild concussion in the third inning after colliding with shortstop Alex Cintron, who made an over-the-shoulder catch but had to leave in the sixth because of a tight left hamstring.
Dellucci was carried off on a cart, and it took more than an hour before he became completely coherent. An MRI and CT scan taken on Dellucci's head were negative.
"I'm sure he's going to be sore for the next couple days," Lessard said. "But his head itself is almost back to normal."
Dellucci and Cintron are expected to miss a few games.
