Drop Jansen for a starter?

[Sack Lunch]

I am still new to this, so I am still a little foggy on the closer situation. I have Brandon League who appears to be closing for the Dodgers, but I also have Jansen, is it worth it to keep him? My starting pitchers are doing horribly right now. Should I pick up any of the following available SPs and drop Jansen?

Miley
Teheran
Cahill
Cobb
Iwakuma
Garza
Pettitte

Thanks!

Those guys have all made what one start? Don't jump the gun too soon. I like Jansen a lot he will help your Ks ERA and WHIP even if he doesn't take over the closing gig. He has potential to rack up 1-3 Ks every time he goes out...9 innings somewhere around 16+ Ks would be solid for your stats.

Cobb is a guy who you may want to take a look at. Hard to say who to cut at this point.

I wouldn't make that move, but I'd be dropping Haren for Miley.

Thanks bkradz. I wasn't really considering that a few relief innings multiple times per week is just as valuable as a starter (yes I'm that new).

I'll make the move for Miley.
