2011 bullpen deep finds?

What are some cheaper 2011 bullpen options that people have seen work effectively in a mopup role? I have a limited budget left for my squad and I see a gaping hole in Mopup role. If people can provide me with a list of guys to look for in free agency that would be great. Preferably under $1.00. Any help is appreciated.

I like Stutes as a cost efficient way to eat innings. He performed very, very well in that role for this Twisted Reality team, for the Philadelphia Phillies:

I'm curious about Kerry Wood. Have you guys used him?

Thanks, I looked for the guys all of you mentioned and altered my bullpen a little bit.

I dropped Motte as his 6R wasn't really worth it at my park I don't think and went cheaper at closer. Walden is my primary closer and I signed Kerry Wood to be the backup. Jansen will pitch middle and setup for me. Duensing and Chapman are my lefties out of the pen. I like Ramon Ortiz's card on paper as a Right handed specialist and spot starter vs righty heavy clubs especially given my rotations strong lean towards getting lefties out.

Out of all the guys mentioned Stutes was the one available that seemed to fit my club best so he is lined up to be the Mopup guy. This is my first 2011 club and it will surely struggle but it will still be fun. Plus after the newest sale I finally have enough credits where I can afford to blow a credit on experiments and not kick myself for it.
