Right now I have Figgins and A. Huff starting at my corners. Would it be an upgrade to trade for one or 2 of the 3: Ian Stewart, K. Kouzmanoff and J. Loney? I'm looking for upgrades this year and for the years to come. Thanks for your insight.
It's a 12 team 20 man keeper 5x5 H2H 25 man roster.

I prefer to play Figgins at 2nd base. 3rd base should be a power position. I think getting Loney would be good. Then you could move Huff to 3rd base , and possibly Figgins to 2nd base. Loney should get a little better this year.

I agree with Dan that Loney should be the one to try to land. His projections/ranking vary but I kind of like him. I think his value would go up if Manny would resign with LA as I believe the better an overall lineup is the better the individuals within that lineup are.

Loney reminds me of a young Lyle Overbay with a bit more power. He's only going to get better, and since many are so ga ga over Joey Votto, Loney often comes as a steal in drafts. IMO Votto will never be as good as Loney. So one Votto goes in your draft take loney with you next pick, you won't be disappointed. (the guy with Votto might be though). Huff on the other hand is under-rated. People keep saying what he did in the second half last season was a fluke, but if they paid attention to stats they would see that it was very typical of Huff to put up huge second half numbers. Slide him over to third and hand on to Figgins as a back up or a platoon at third to keep your steals up.
