6x6 weekly HtH 14 team roto keeper (between 5 and 10 keepers (no time limits or costs), losing a draft pick for each after 5)

I have to make a couple of moves for roster space and I find myself in a position where I find it difficult to drop some of my players. I must drop 1 from my current roster now that Carlos Guillen is coming off the DL. I will likely replace him with another DL player like Koji Uehara or Rick Ankiel. I also want to pick up SP Jason Hammell. I'm a big believer that he's just been a victim of terrible luck and I certainly need more pitching, but the problem is, I can't find one guy that I'm happy dropping let alone two. Right now, I'm leaning towards Edwin Encarnacion, since I don't really need him now and he's likely to lose playing time once Snider returns and Joba Chamberlain. I think I like the idea of keeping both 2B options, Izturis and Guillen (soon to gain eligibility) in light of Hill's struggles. But, Freddy Sanchez just made his way to the WW anyway and he might be better than Izturis.
1) Which two players are most droppable on my roster and why?
2) Are there any guys you like on the WW more than what I have? (Please look for longer-term, in season value rather than present value)
