I was thinking about getting rid of Yoshi and taking Anomen. I was just wondering if Nalia will be a good enough thief for my party?

You CAN get by with Nalia filling your thief slot, but be sure to mem a few knock spells (and prepare to suck up some trap damage with your main tank) if you adopt this strategy. Her woeful level 4 thieving skills are so lame that you wonder why she even bothered. Traps (with a few exceptions in Spellhold) simply aren't as devastating to your party in BG2 as they were in BG1 simply because your party has more HP and is far more likely to make a saving through against any really heinous trap affect.
It really irritates me that Bioware didn't provide more thiefing character options. Imoen and Nalia's skills are minimal. Jan is quite possibly the worst overall character, and Yoshimo has his own problems. Would have been nice to add another rogue type, be it multiclassed or single classed.
