Pass on this one - you'd be getting hosed. Right now there's not even assurance that Lidge gets the job back if/when he ever gets over his latest injury. Kubel has his weaknesses but he blows Damon out of the water as a fantasy player at this stage of their careers.

There are always speculative saves guys out there - which is precisely what Lidge is now. Hell it's a 10 TEAM league - I wouldn't take a junk deal just to get in on the game. Go grab Thornton, Adams, Gutierrez, Jim Johnson, Lyon etc etc and do it on your own terms

Thanks for the opinion...
I wasn't sure if I was too high on Kubel I needed some unbiased input. I will look elsewhere for a closer

[fitz0527]

Just scan the waiver wire for closers. You'll be able to nab one eventually. Is Rodney, Gregg, Johnson available? Lidge is anything but a sure thing anyway.

[captain num nuts]

Don't do the trade. Lidge is nothing special, and there should be some guys on waivers like Rodney or gregg, and maybe down the line Qualls might lose his job to Gutierrez.
