I'd say Parra, Devine, Iannetta.

Parra has the talent to have a huge breakout.
I don't see Ziegler as the permanent closer option in Oakland...and Devine was lights out to end the 08 season.
Iannetta would be a solid insurance plan in case V Mart goes down again.

I like Damon quite a bit more than anyone else from that list.

based on the variety i am guessing this is 100% preference. My lineup is full (anyone draftred would be benched) so I'm thinking more towards pitching. I thought Chris Perez would be good, followed by Manny Parra. Anyone agree? I dont really want to take Devine because there is no indication on who is closing there...

I would rank them like this (since you say you want pitching and that makes sense):

1 Devine
2 Perez
3 Parra

I really think Devine will be the closer and will put up monster numbers. I think Perez numbers will be a little lower, but he will get saves. I think Parra could have a huge breakout year. Any of the three are good options, though.

Milledge and Iannetta still seem heads above those closers. Vmart has some risk, Iannetta a safety net. Milledge could easily pass Maybin. If i took a closer, probably
