Who do you have at SS right now?

I'd rather have Braun than Rollins.

No counter offer? I am not trying to make a trade just to do it....but I would like to add some speed to my lineup.

I should probably just leave it alone.

I'd rather have Braun. In H2H, I'd care a little less for SB, knowing how random they can be. Who do you have at SS, BTW?

If I were you, I'd shop Atkins around; Beltre should definitely suffice as your starting 3B.

You have Crawford so it looks like plenty of speed for H2H. If you really have to have Rollins you can try countering with Berkman. Braun is certainly too much.
