Absolutely. I'd take Lester over Capps any day of the week (especially since you have 2 equal or better closers) and I think Jurrjens will be solid. You really don't Callaspo with Hardy on your bench...you've weathered the storm with Hardy and now get ready for a hot streak.

Yeah thats what I figured especially with 3 for 3 game today, now if the rest of my pitchers will just wake up lol

Capps for Lester is an excellent deal! Nice work

Congrats once more!

If Hardy continues to tank it, then do not hesitate to pick up callaspo again. He is a good young guy that is getting better every week.

Great move, even more so in a keeper.

Solid buy low.

A marginal closer for a stud starter (that is uck I'd question that move!)

The closer carousel has already started. If Huston Street is available (grab him quickly) Corpas is being sent down (or its being discussed). If you need a replacement closer go get Jim Johnson from Baltimore, Sherrill is out as full time closer and Johnson has been very good. Ray may EVENTUALLY get the job but i"d go with the guy whose put up the best numbers, the manager will go with that.
