Drop Lindstrom for Bell.

Make the Bell switch, and please, please try to get Fransisco some other way (dropping a non-closer). He's worth it.

Motte's got to be behind Bell, Francisco, Lindstrom, Hanrahan, and Lyon though, right? Those other guys are annoited closers, and Motte's a maybe.

I like Francisco most out of those available guys and would drop Lindstrom. He's got a great situation to be closing in - lots of save situations in that park and I think he's good for 30.

With that many closers available you're probably fine. If you do make the drop, I'd look for a bat as a replacement.

Bell or Francisco over Lindstrom for sure. Francisco would probably be my first choice as I think he'll get a lot more opportunities.

I like Motte, but with LaRussa running the show I don't know if you will get great info until he earns the job with a few good outings. I could see Franklin getting a shot early if Motte struggles.
