I wouldn't even consider going silver/silver here and would immediately go salvager/silver. It's interesting that you guys seem to think otherwise for the most part, and you have a point. Still not totally convinced, but definitely a bit enlightened.
If salvager were baron, would you open baron/silver?
The only way Baron could be better than Salvager here would be an early $7, and it is really unlikely. I think Salvager/Silver is decent, and Baron/Silver is awful.
