If Elias trades for two more relievers, which two would you replace?

[Greg Pappas]

MULTIPLE CHOICE... so you can choose two.

With so man of us clamoring for better relievers, I 'm curious who you'd replace if Elias trades for two more relievers (obvious upgrades)?

Assuming our starters will be Wells / Bradish / GRod / Kremer / Gibson, I'd list our eight relievers in alphabetical order, as:

Baker / Baumann / Bautista / Cano / Coulombe / Fujinami / Irvin / Perez.

I know no one will select Bautista, but added him anyway. LOL! (Cano as well for sure)

Two of Perez/Baker/Baumann, but can't decide on which two.

Made it a poll, so you can choose two.

IMO it depends on who we pick up.

Irvin, because he has options and we can keep him at Norfolk.   Cionel Perez.  He looked good the last two games but I’m not convinced.

[gtman55]

I wouldn't be so quick to dump all the lefties. Irvin has pitch decent recently in long relief.

[Malike]

I'd keep Baumann because he can give length in the middle innings, Irvin too. I'd part with Perez and Baker.

I want the best 8.  Not worried about lefty righty.

Irvin would be one. Not sure about second. Baumann or Baker probably. 
 

GM’s don’t like to limits their options. No longer trades after August 1. Why I think Perez stays.

DirtyBird has to explain his choice of Bautista and Cano. I assume he's trolling.

Maybe he misunderstood the poll and thought it was which two relievers he would KEEP at all costs.

It’s the same guy who wanted Gunnar sent down practically the whole year… he may be truly choosing them.

Honestly at this point it might be to place Cano on DL with arm fatigue as he seems to be wearing down and arm slot tells me he either tired or slight injury.

You want to shut him down 15 days?  I'd rather Hyde just resist the urge to use him for maybe three days and see what happens?

[Aristotelian]

Bautista! Just kidding... It would be Irvin and Baumann because they can be optioned and then brought back when rosters expand.
