Saves for Steals

I have no solid basestealers on my roster in the 12 team NL-only keeper
league I play in. The league is deep enough that I'll never get them
off the waiver wire, either. I do, however have Cordero, Dempster, and
Valverde (I even got lucky with a half dozen saves from Tim Worrell
while Benitez was out!). I've been approached by a team with steals
looking to deal for saves. He's got Pierre, Lofton, and Rowand. I'd
Pierre.
Dempster for Pierre?
Cordero for Pierre?
What do you guys think?
If he won't move Pierre, what about Valverde for Rowand?

First of all, It sounds like you are pretty comfortable in the save
dept. Pierre is the best choice out of the three, Rowand Is batting
200 over the past two weeks, and Loftons age is slowing him down. You
could possibly get Rowand and Pierre for Cordero, but that is up to
you. Remember, the team approached you, that means that you are in the
drivers seat. Ask for the world first, and then go down from there. It
is going to take a team three weeks to counter the 6 saves you got from
worrell. Also, something that I do that is time consuming but it pays
off is if you monitor a team using their closer for 2 days straight or
over an inning one day, pick up their backup for the next game,
chances are they will use him for the save opporotunity the next day.
WHo knows, you may not miss your closer at all, and get steals for free!
