You have a nice staff and can afford to wait for Nolasco a little longer. I do like Slowey. Maybe dump Lee for him and hope Helton stays healthy.

Should I drop Lee for any of the guys listed above?

I agree with holding on to Nolasco as painful as it may be. Unless something proves to be physically wrong with him, there's a tremendous amount of baseball left for him to be a very strong contributor. I also like Slowey best of those available. Control pitchers like Slowey routinely take some time early in the season to get dialed in, and the fact that he's been just ok to this point should suprise no one. He will get better..own him if he is available.
