I have Ervin Santana on my roster. He has been hurt all year. He just came back last week, came in for 1 inning, and gave up 7 runs; earning me a 63 ERA for that day. I'm sure he will improve but maybe not. Yovani Gallardo and Carlos Zamrano are both available on the WW. Should I drop Santana and pick up one of these guys? Or hang on to him? I am currently in last place. So I need to do something. I keep losing a lot of cats just by a pt or two. I'm playing in a 8 team h2h league. Thanks.
Roster: C Pierzynski 1b Pujols 2b Uggla 3b Guillén ss Tulowitzki of Johnny Damon of Granderson of Jay Bruce ut Morneau bn Mike Aviles bn Garrett Atkins bn B.J. Upton bn Ichiro Suzuki bn Alex Gordon
sp Johan Santana sp A.J. Burnett rp B.J. Ryan rp Mike González p Ricky Nolasco p Ervin Santana p Cole Hamels

Drop Ervin for Gallardo. In an 8 team league there's no reason to be sitting on someone like Santana who'll likely take a fair amount of time to return to form.
Also, he really doesn't have much more upside than Gallardo (in fact he likely has less) so you might as well own the healthy one who is performing right now.

Sorry, I forgot to change some of the roster changes I already made. Nolasco has been gone. I picked up Justin Verlander a week ago. Here is the new roster:
