2006 Bullpen

With the sudden influx of good pitching from the Rangers' young starting pitching, the bullpen has become a bit more interesting.  If the Rangers keep Rogers and sign a free-agent starter (or signs two starters and lets Rogers go), the rotation looks like this:

Rogers/Young/Loe/Dominguez/Free Agent

Which leaves the following pool of players for the bullpen:

Mahay, Shouse, Benoit, RicRod, Cordero, Wilson, Regilio, Feldman, Wasdin, Almanzar (mid-season), Fransisco, and some useless retreads.

Long man/Spot Starter:  Benoit, RicRod, Wasdin
Middle relief: Regilio, Shouse, Mahay, Wilson
Setup: Feldman, Fransisco
Closer: Cordero

Those are the possible options.  It seems to me that the gaping hole is in lefty relievers - Shouse and Mahay have been pretty bad this year.

What kind of bullpen configuration would be most effective?

We need
to get some free agent bullpen releivers such as Kyle Farnsworth.  Loe has been very impressive, and im glad we didnt trade him for A.J. Burnett because he could be a gem.

He could be a gem....
AJ Burnett is a gem.  And no offense to Kameron Loe, but he is no AJ Burnett.

agreed...
but now we dont have to pay him 10 million a year and now we can go out and get another good starter to make this rotation better.

Farnsworth
Signing big-name free agent relievers pretty much never works.

What about...
Pedro Astacio?  

Just kidding, just kidding...
