welp, if you're confident in your SP i don't think javier vazquez is an especially-great SP to go with, as his era usually gets into teh 4s and barring someone with amazing K numbers and a guaranteed 15ish/+ wins, i generally dont accept 4+ ERAs for anything but that.

otehrwise... umm... milledge has more upside than james loney, and quite possibly elijah dukes in my world. i am also not a ryan zimmerman fan but that depends on how much faith you've got in alex gordon...


kind of a shrug on this one, sorry i couldn't be more definitive

I think he's worth a drop. While I am a Cardinal fan, in your position I'd drop Greene.


Please help.

Greene and Matsui seem like the obvious candidates to me. I'd start with Greene. I'm not buying that Petco was the only thing holding him back.

He is definitely worth a pickup. I think he could be this years version of N Mclouth. I would drop either Greene or Matsui. If you need to drop an OF, it would be Dukes. Otherwise I would drop Matsui.
