I agree with the McLouth side, but saying Soria won't get the save chances is just ignorant. He may play on a bad team, but the Royals have a decent rotation and bad offense. That means a lot of close games. They might only win 70 games, but since they are unlikely to blow a lot of teams out that leaves a lot of close games. He's still very likely to get 35+ saves, and is on pace for 40+ at this point.
McLouth is just too good though, he was a darkhorse 20/40 candidate coming into this season, and his power has since exploded. I wouldn't expect him to keep up this good of a HR pace (hit his 12th today) but finishing the season around 30/40 is probably a good estimate. Expect him to be this year's version of Eric Byrnes, going on a power surge early and then finishing the season a monster on the base paths.
