Drop Molina for sure.

And probably pick up Niemann.

I would not drop Coghlan.

There's a couple of things to do there. First, add De La Rosa. Second, deep six Bedard for a better and/or less injured pitcher - Slowey's my choice there. Or DL Bedard if you have DL slots, either way. Then deep six Molina for whatever one of those available closers props your tent (probably Frasor or Francisco). You don't need that reserve C in roto.


And since, amazingly, Nighttrain didn't ask, I will. Is Latos or Matusz available in your league. :-D

De La Rosa for sure. He'll get the K's and wins and you can afford to take the WHIP hit with Halladay/Haren anchoring your staff. He's the perfect compliment to them.

1.) Drop Bengie and pick up Frasor or Francisco. It doesn't hurt to have an extra closer given the inconsistencies of Jenks lately.

2.) De La Rosa would fit your team. Like AquaMan said, his K's will definitely help. If you want to be a little risky, Sheets has the most talent out of anyone there besides Webb (who could be out awhile).
