i would...
try to drop utley. like you said hes only playing half the time, if you could get a regular starter to put there thatd help you out
drop stanton...that is unless you count hold or something. not that big a fan of having numerous relievers from the same team. you already have gordon
drop eaton- its hard enough getting wins in SD with a stud like peavy. youll be lucky if this guy gets you 10 wins. his era is usually in the 4s and his whip stinks too. hes not going to help you
from those huys you listed id conisder picking up:
randa- hes been tearing it up. chances are this wont continue but hell probably hit around 20 hrs and a decent avg (.280?)
swisher- people have him being the al's roy this year, he had a 2 hr game a fewdays ago. has been slow lately. but he should improve. oakland as a team heats up around june so he could do the same as well once he gets a few games under his belt
pena- people have just been waiting for him to have a breakout year. could this be it?
lieberthal- decent backup catcher. i wouldnt hold onto 2 catchers though since that position doesnt usually offer the most in terms of production, but if hes the best available, why not
thats about it. you might want to get some guys who hit for average. guys like sosa, beltran, and delgado (last year') can slug but could hurt your average. also next year ditch the autodraft and pick yourselves. not only is it more fun but whether your team does well or no so good you only have yourself to blame and not chance
