Dice-K / Lidge WHIR

[Dan Charette]

I would keep Lidge. As some have said, Dice-K will probably regress. Lidge was a top closer with a real nice K rate.
But my main reason for keeping Lidge would be the crazy closer scene this coming year. Some would say that this will lead to an easier time getting saves fron the waiver wire , but there will be many managers seeking out these saves.
And another thing is that there's many good starting pitchers this year. I think it's a pretty deep position , with many up and coming possibilities.
So why trade a shallow position for a deep one ? I normally am hesitant about keeping closers, but in your case I would definately keep Lidge.

If you can find someone dumb enough to trade an upper tier closer for a glorified gas can high rope act, I'd certainly bite.

That is definitely selling Dice-K short. I am one of the biggest Dice-K haters, but that is absolutely selling him short. I guess we are all in agreement though that Lidge will probably not blow one save next year correct?
