I've had Joakim Soria in the DL slot. Now that he's back off the DL, who should I drop to bring him back in? I'm considering Aubrey Huff since he's really just a very good backup for even better 1B and 3B players on my team. Any other suggestions?

Huff seems like the logical choice - you are never going to start him over Fielder at 1B or Longoria at 3B and I don't think you can justify dropping any of those outfielders.
You don't just drop guys like Huff without exploring all possible options. First, I would try and trade him since he doesn't fit in your system (but maybe a backup). Second, if trading doesn't work then hold off to see what Soria does or any player for that matter that may stink it up or get hurt in the next couple of days. Last, I would drop if you had to (which it looks as in this case) but there is someone out there that would give you top money for Huff and 1 of your pitchers (or Soria for that matter)....but just too hard to outright drop a stud player like that (even though he is in a cold spell right now).
