Open Thread: Who should be the Brewers’ 6 other relievers in ’08?

Everyone and their sister have been complaining that the Brewers’ bullpen was to blame for much of their drop-off in ’07, so I thought I’d send a shout out to readers to pick their 6 favs for Brewers’ relievers in 2008 from the list of candidates below. The list assumes that Francisco Cordero will be the closer if re-signed, and that Yovani Gallardo makes the rotation with Sheets and Suppan (and two from below need to be in the starting rotation). The other candidates, in alphabetical order, that are signed, under control, or could easily be back:
1. Greg Aquino
2. Steve Bray
3. Dave Bush
4. Chris Capuano
5. Mark DiFelice
6. R.A. Dickey
7. Tim Dillard
8. Zach Jackson
9. Ray King
10. Scott Linebrink
11. Seth McClung
12. Manny Parra
13. Adam Pettyjohn
14. Brian Shouse
15. Mitch Stetter
16. Derrick Turnbow
17. Claudio Vargas
18. Carlos Villanueva
19. Matt Wise
Do the Brewers have to re-sign Scott Linebrink? Can Melvin/should Melvin try to deal Turnbow? Can we live without Matt Wise? Please let everyone know what you think!
