Lieber's not bad - particularly when you view it as "buying time to fully develop one of Villanueva, Gallardo, or Dillard." Looking over his page at baseball-reference, I see a lot to like. Even with a bit of a slump last year, his K/BB was 4:1. His WHIP was 1.31. In previous years, his ERA was around 4.00, rather than 5.00. I was never thrilled with getting Mench in the Carlos Lee trade. It would have been far better to just get Codero and Nix, plus the minor-leaguer. He just did not fit in, and he took playing time away from Corey Hart and Gabe Gross. Losing Turnbow will hurt, though. I don't think he'd reach 2005 performance, but is he as bad as he was in the second half of 2006? No. He'd be a decent option closer once he gets straightened out some.
