Drop Slowey/Wilson for Laporta/Blalock? At a loss. WHIR!

I'm at a loss here guys. I feel the need to make a drop or two. First of all I have to get Hoffman off the DL and I can't figure out how to do it. Also I would like to pick up Laporta or Blalock. Believe me I am trying to make a two for one trade but no one is biting. I've sent out numerous 2 for 1 deals for Miguel Cabrera, David Wright, and Chipper Jones. I need a 3B to take Davis's place until he comes to life and is more consistent as he is the only weak link on my lineup I think. Well Big Papi is right there with him but I have Vernon Wells I am plugging in at the moment.

Again I'm at a loss on what to do here. I can't get anyone to accept a deal to make room and I don't know who to drop or if I should just stay put for now. I've already missed out on Mike Lowell but Blalock is still there and I think he might be a good plug and play for now. Should I drop Wilson and make room for Hoffman or just drop Hoffman flat out. I really only need 3 closers and there are still a couple of FA closers out there as there are usually throughout the season if I need one later on. Also should I drop Slowey as he has big potential and looks great in wins but is clearly the weak link in my SPs and will not be needed once Carpenter is back.

What does everyone think? Any help would be appreciated and I will gladly help in return.

Wow, pretty stacked up team. Slowey might be your only option to drop at this point. Are you absolutely positive you can't 2-for-1 in your league? Dropping anybody might be a tough move at this point, but you've got to activate your DL guys. For now, I think i'd cut Slowey loose, and activate Hoffman. But again, your team is stacked.

Help out:

Thanks man. That's the only move I see at this point as well. I don't know if I should keep 4 closers but I hate to drop one even though my closers were all end of draft picks and FA pickups (Wilson and Hoffman). Does anyone else have any advice?
