Is this a keeper league?

Nope. Redraft.

In that case, I would stick with Butler and Cueto. Cueto is having a better season than Hanson. Down the road it might be different, but as of right now he is better.

I like Butler alot, and think he can potentially have a huge 2nd half. Manny has been injured on and off recently, and I just don't trust someone who is consistently in and out of the lineup.

I think Id rather have the Butler side...Hanson is a nice pitcher but Manny is breaking down, as shown by his latest injury. Butler is already a very good average hitter, but once he finds the power stroke, he will be a very solid first baseman. As for Cueto, he isnt as good as Hanson, but he is still a solid youngster in his own right.

Just my $.02
