I think I would keep Cueto or Volsted. Both should improve in 2009. They both have good stuff. Both were good prospects. It's a toss up.

I'd keep Cueto. Just needs to work on not being so predictable with the back-door slider and I think he'll be great for K rate potential in spite of the fact he gives up his fair share of flyballs.

I'm in the keep Cueto camp. If Devine was assured to have a closer job, I wouldn't mind keeping him, but he's gonna be competing with zeigler.
