No. I wouldn't do it. I'd drop Wang he's the reason you're so bad in ERA, whip. Cut him and find someone else to plug in.

Ditto. I'd pass. I like Bills.... Rodney adds no value for me. Have him buck up on the second player.

I'm up in the air on this offer. Then consider this:

Around mid-July Morneau typically starts to tank.

Pre-All Star: 1564 AB, .302 BA, 93 HRs, 327 RBIs
Post-All Star: 1352 AB, .267 BA, 56 HRs, 250 RBIs

any more help??? thanks

You say you want to do it, then do it. But Morneau is worth more than that. Rodney does nothing for me, and Billingsley is behind Morneau, even if you take into account second half struggles on the career. A lot of that is in last year's struggles after the ASB, I think. He really struggled after the ASB last year.
