Billy Wagner
Takashi Saito
Peter Moylan
Eric O'Flaherty
Kris Medlen
Jesse Chavez
Jo-Jo Reyes
Scott Proctor
Craig Kimbrel
I added a few extras who aren't on the opening day roster, just for a bit of extra fun. My guesses are after the jump.
Billy Wagner, 42 SV, 1.98 ERA, 64 G
Takashi Saito, 2 SV / 18 H, 2.88 ERA, 69 G
Peter Moylan, 1 SV / 28 H, 2.01 ERA, 82 G
Eric O'Flaherty, 18 H, 4.02 ERA, 72 G
Kris Medlen, 9 H, 3.88 ERA, 61 G
Jesse Chavez, 5 H, 4.25 ERA, 45 G
Jo-Jo Reyes, 1 H, 7.85 ERA, 12 G
Scott Proctor, 9 H, 3.38 ERA, 52 G
Craig Kimbrel, 4 SV / 4 H, 3.01 ERA, 28 G
I really think Wagner will have a stellar comeback season and hold that closer's role all season. The team will work in Kimbrel towards the end of the year, but only to give Wagner a rest. I don't think Reyes or Chavez will last the whole season without a minor league demotion, and I really don't think Reyes will last long at all.

Moylan at only 82 games? Ha…Cox was going easy on him last year, but this year he’s now one year removed from surgery. I expect Cox to use him in at least 100 games.
You seem to be really optimistic of Reyes’ performance. I think Saito’s and Medlen’s projections should be switched.

Reyes is going to surprise a lot of people. An effective Saito will take a lot of games off Moylan’s workload. Chavez is going to be an issue.
