Webb for Young. Brandon is really the only player on your whole roster thats able to be dropped without losing much value. Lilly will come back in about a week and be a strong starter again, Lee you obviously do not drop, and you need Lidge and Street for saves. I wouldn't dump any of your bats for him, so that leaves Webb.

yeah top 10 pitcher if hes fully healthy, which won't happen AT ALL this year, even if he does make it back this year he won't be 100% healthy. Also yes a top 10 pitcher, but you have to throw innings to get that credit ;-D

Konerko Cut? No. Hes dependable and you know your going to get 25+ HR from him
Tejada Cut? I wouldn't. Tejada may not be in his hay day, but at least to begin the season he will be batting clean up in a solid lineup.
Lilly Cut? With the SP injuries you have, I say no. Lilly is a lot like Konerko, not over the top value, but you know what your getting, Double digit wins, solid ERA/WHIP and big K numbers.
Wells Cut? Ok maybe. But then you are stuck with the 3 OFer your left with, no ability to rotate the hot and cold bats.
Happ Cut? Sure. This is the only other guy I was looking at cutting, but just figured a healthy pitcher is more valuable to a fantasy team then an injured arm anyday.

Again I just don't trust that Webb is going to JACK this year after all the early reports, so was just trying to save you as much value as possible.
