Which add, if any would impove my team the most? i think i might cut my wrist if i have to keep Quentin on my team any longer.

My potential drops: (lets just for argument sake say i can't trade these people)

Carlos Quentin
Jay Bruce
Stephen Drew

(i like Bruce; Quentin just pisses me off and the only reason i drafted him is because of value at that point in the draft)
plan on dropping Drew when Rollins returns.

Potenital Adds:

Mike Stanton (AA)
Rich Harden
Clay Buchholz
Jose Contreras
Brian Roberts (dl)
Howie Kendrick
Gordon Beckham (2b/3b)
Adam Jones
David Ortiz
Ryan Ludwick
Adrian Beltre
Juan Pierre

If you aren't being forced into playing Quentin, I would give him more time on the bench. He just has a lot more upside those free agents. I would dump Braden, stash Brian Roberts with a DL space, and add Rich Harden. Just be careful how you use him.

i could dump braden, he was just a spot start, but i only have one DL spot. My plan was to dump Drew when Rollins came back and stash Roberts then.

Harden is not a bad pickup, and like you said spot starter

What about Adam Jones or Michael Stanton? My OF hasn't been the picture of a hot start. Sizemore, Bruce, Quentin are all struggling. Adam Jones in the last week has turned it on a bit, is he a good add

I'd wait at least a couple of days before you act since he's apparently been sick and could possibly go on the DL. A good rehab assignment might jolt his bat to life. I think he's got too much potential to put up good numbers to bail on before this current issue is resolved.
