Need to drop a starter

[Baseball Guru]

Just made a trade in my league and I gave up Wagner (Phils closer) to get Buerhle and I still have Brazobán and Hoffman but I would like to pick up a 3rd closer...

Here are my worst pitchers according to rankings:

....................O-Rank Rank ..IP W SV K ERA WHIP
C. Lidle (Phi - SP) Tex 241 130 69.2 5 0 43 3.88 1.31
G. ChacÃ*n (Tor - SP,RP) @ChC 440 155 67.0 5 0 37 3.36 1.39
B. Halsey (Ari - SP) Min 446 164 72.1 4 0 41 3.48 1.30
W. Miller (Bos - SP) @StL 116 364 32.1 2 0 22 4.73 1.39


Who would you drop?

Also, do you think Todd Jones will remain the main Marlins closer and which of these would you go with:

.....................O-Rank Rank IP W SV K ERA WHIP
T. Jones (Fla - RP) 288 132 25.1 0 9 19 1.42 1.18
T. Walker (SF - RP) 405 329 24.1 2 8 18 5.18 1.85
B. Fuentes (Col - RP) 372 186 27.1 1 5 24 2.63 1.17
B. Bruney (Ari - RP) 603 411 24.1 0 5 25 4.81 1.68

I think once Mota gets back to his old self he'll regain his closing role. His numbers before his injury were great, but after they're terrible. If he gets back to pitching as he did, there should be no reason he wouldn't be the closer.

And I'd probably get rid of Lidle. The other 3 are doing great.

Good news: I can tell you who not to drop very easily. Wade Miller.

Bad news: There isn't a definate one of the three who you should drop. In my opinion there is probably starters available who are better than all three of them.

Also: You should get Jones, and you should drop Brazoban and get Fuentes. Walker and Bruney have been getting chances and saves, but with the way they're pitching it won't be for long.

Drop Lidle
