Lidge Removed as Closer

[The_Met_Threat]

Closers very rarely get the job back. I say grab Wheeler or Qualls because unless it takes 2-3 days to "improve the mechanics" Lidge will likely be done. Dan Kolb still haunts me, 5th round pick...

This is a pretty funny post. Please do not compare Dan Kolb to Brad Lidge. And also please stop saying that Lidge's meltdown is because of Albert Pujols' home run. Its a home run hes given up a lot in his career, i hope you guys realize the Astros won the NLCS. Id say pujols hr would be a factor if that was game 7.

Umm...when did I compare the two pitchers? Umm...when did I ever mention the Pujols homerun? Hope you're not illiterate.

Only the first 2 sentences were directed at you. I just didnt want to make 2 posts.

just got wheeler

Just curious, why the run to grab Wheeler, when the article says Wheeler and Quals will split the saves?

its just to try and steal a few saves. even if you only get 2 or 3 saves out of him, that can be the difference in the end. i would hope that nobody is dropping any solid fantasy players for him. but i still had rodney on a team, and dropped him for wheeler. when he loses the job, ill pick up someone else who may get a few saves.

So... I should not have dropped Ryan when I picked up Wheeler????

I never intended to imply that I am comparing Kolb to Lidge. I mefrely stated that the situation at hand reminded me of my situation with Kolb last year after his 39 (I think) save season.

Closers are fickle. While I do think Lidge will eventually get his job back, you can't rule out the possibility that he may not.

both qualls and wheeler are in my league, I dont think I want to pick them up though, I dont have the room for a temp closer thats going to split saves
