With Rich Harden coming off the DL (and Aaron Harang on waivers) I have to drop one of my pitchers, and I'd prefer to drop a starter. Below are my pitchers

Roy Oswalt
Rich Harden*
Brett Myers
Jeremy Bonderman
Dan Haren

RP Rivera
RP Turnbow
RP Cordero
RP Coffey
RP Putz

I'm thinking either Bonderman or Haren, your thoughts?

If you don't want to drop any of your relievers (I'd drop Coffey, personally), you'd have to drop either Bonderman or Haren. Haren heated up as the season went on last year, Bonderman regressed. If I had the same decision to make, I'd probably drop Bonderman if the choice was down to those two based on last year's outcome and 2nd half performances. This is a different year, though, so anything can happen.

If the Cordero you are listing is Chad Cordero, dropping Coffey makes the most sense to me.

If it is Fransico Cordero, then I would drop Bonderman over Haren. Haren has begun to put it together after a rough start. His season is very similar to last year when, as Red Leader mentioned above, he had a wonderful 2nd half of the season.
