Ryan Franklin the new closer?!

Ryan franklin has demonstrated that he can close, like he did last year until he began to lose it towards the end. Recorded his second save today and has got me thinking if i should pick him up. Currently the most expendable player i have is probably Carlos villanueva. Given his recent shaky performances, ardasma getting save opportunities, and the return of hoffman in about a week and a half or so, you think i should drop him for franklin now? Even with the closer situation still unclear?

Aardsma's on Seattle so not sure how he'd affect Villanueva.

I think LaRussa will continue a closer-by-committee for awhile. Franklin has looked good, but LaRussa wants to work Motte back into it and they've just called up Perez. I think I'd rather have Villanueva for now (til Hoffman is back).

Check out the closers threads in "Leftovers" for a lot more discussion on closer situations.

Good luck!
