What do you all think about this? I know my pitching is already a little shattered, but I dont think I can pass on Cruz with how he's been playing.... I'm sure I can find a pitcher to replace Cueto... Opinions? Leave links.

Without looking at your roster, it would be Cruz for sure!
With looking at your team, you need Cueto quite a bit. I guess if there were some good names on the WW regarding SPs (and I doubt with it being a 14 team league), then I would do it. Your pitching staff lacks an ace as well as any stable guys.
Well I definetely like Cruz compared to Cueto...but your team is weak on SP. However, your OF isn't great either, so I would take that deal and immediately be agressive about pursuing an ace. I'd try to trade a SS b/c both of you SS's are widely considered top 5 SS's and should net a good picther in return esp. for teams that are weak at a shallow position like SS.
