Linebrink has been one of the top relievers in baseball over the last four years.
But he hasn't been as valuable as Giles over the past four years. It's not close; you have to remember that Giles's defense is worth 100+ (120, according to prospectus) runs over replacement level over the last four years.
Both are coming off their worst year of the last four; both should bounce back a bit. But Giles is two years younger and should bounce back more.

Apparently, the Braves want to dump Giles because he is a drunk. So what? I'll be furious if that's the deal that happens. They wanted Linebrink bad at the deadline, and settled(badly) for Baez. Not real thrilled with the organization at the moment.
