On Wednesday night, Brad Lidge blew his league leading eleventh save of the year. Should Brad Lidge continue to close? Most of us can agree that the answer is no. The question remains: who should fill his role? There is no answer; at least I don’t have one.

On top of that, Ryan Madson hasn’t been able to close out games with regularity and Brett Myers is an unknown because of his...
