If you are looking for a sleeper for some saves your guy just may be Luke Gregerson. 2009 was Gregerson's rookie campaign and it was very successful. In 75 innings pitched the soon to be 26 year old had 93 strikeouts, a 3.24 ERA, and a 1.24 WHIP. Heath Bell is currently San Diego's closer and their have been rumor's of Bell being traded since last season. I personally feel Gregerson would be next in line for save opportunities if the second year closer either struggles or gets traded before the trade deadline. Mike Adams also could be in line for saves, but Gregerson's strikeout ratio tells me that he has the stuff to be a closer, and is younger than Adams, meaning Gregerson could be the closer of the future for the youthful Padres. Take a late round flier on Gregerson during draft day and stash him on you bench; start Gregerson if your league awards points for holds.
