I'd go with Young (dual eligible at 3b/ss after a few weeks) and Milledge/Slowey (depending on whether you want an arm or bat)

Young and Slowey IMO

(was Devine taken? I know you didnt list him but prefer him over Ziegler...IF devine were to be there him over Slowey)

Young's stock has fallen but plays a tough position but in a great lineup and hitter's park..you dont "need" him with Hardy but hes a good Util and say someone else needs a SS in a trade

Slowey just seems like the best pitching option and based on your roster seems like it would work to go H/P with the wraparound

I think I'd go with Young and Meche.

Young, but i don't see a spot for him?

Qualls

i'd go with young and slowey. young is less than ideal as a UTIL guy, but still not bad. i would attempt to trade either young or hardy though - whoever gets you the most back - they are equivalent players.

help me out...

I think I'd take Milledge 1. He has the tools to be kept after this year possibly. The Nats lineup is improving some this year with some additions and continued growth of some of their young guys. He could conceivably go 20-20 this year with a .290 ish batting average and solid runs and rbi totals. He'd help you put a strangle hold on SB's against most teams while not sacrificing power completely like some SB guys do.

As someone else said, if Devine is also available, he's the guy... otherwise I say take Young even though you don't have a spot to play him. Try and peddle him for a better pitcher than is available, if nothing materializes immediately, he might be worth having since Hardy has proven to be quite streaky.

If you have a second, I'd greatly appreciate some help with mine. Thanks in advance.

Your offense looks pretty well set, so I'd load up on the pitching and go with Slowey and Meche. You can fill that Util position with anybody, take the best pitchers available.
