Oswalt isn't currently in the MLB and probably won't be for a few more weeks (Averaging 3 innings per start in three minor league starts so far while sporting a 7.71 ERA), so he'd be the easiest choice right now, though I'm sure another manager would snap him up immediately.
I don't think you can drop Vogelsong the way he's pitched last year and so far this year. Mediocre K/9 or not, he's valuable right now.
I think Latos is due for some improvement, but I don't think it will be much... He's been a fly ball pitcher his whole career and fly balls + Great American Ballpark = lots of HR's. You can get away with a 42% fly ball percentage in San Diego, but you definitely can't in Cincinnati; his HR/FB rate has literally doubled, and while it may come down a little bit, it's certainly going to stay considerably higher than it has been in the past. I think that's the main reason for his struggles... If he acclimates to the change and becomes comfortable with a different approach on the mound, he should be fine. He's given up 13 HR's already this year after giving up 16 last year. Huge difference.
I'd drop Samardzja if you want one of those releivers; what's he going to do that you can't replace somewhere down the line if you need to?
