I have two this offseason: #1 My Old Franchise player http://brokenbat.org/player/64350 is still having a huge salary. He regressed in some areas last season. Should I keep him? #2 The salary of my closer has jump up to $2 M. Should I keep him? http://brokenbat.org/player/96297

For his numbers, that's not a terrible salary (even for a League V guy). 2 - I would see who you get on waivers (if you want to go that route), but I would consider keeping him unless finances are not looking good. I think Dean Bergen could be a very good, cheaper closer as well

Just don't let #1 take time away from youngsters development, because he won't be useful even off the bench in another season or two.

Potter doesn't look that great to me. I think his lack of Control is deadly (especially as a closer). I'd find a 25 year old prospect that someone else has given up on instead.

This season, at least until his replacement is ready, he shares playing time with his backup. with or without his replacement I don't see him sticking around much past the end of this season. Your guy should be useful still for this season, though as was said probably not nearly as useful as he's been. While he's busy being useful, I'd start preparations to call up or sign his replacement.
