Definitely deal # 1. McCarthy needs to be on your roster.

McCarthy is hurt again. Glad I did not make that move

I would make the swap from Kendrick to Desmond. Desmond is doing what Kendrick is supposed to, and at a younger age and a potentially very dangerous lineup. Kendrick is struggling in a stacked lineup. I make the switch.

Thanks for the response.

Yes, I considered Desmond although, taking a second look at Kendrick's career numbers and perhaps I should stand pat for the time. He's hitting .350-plus over the last two weeks. He should end up with his normal solid numbers, but I may just miss out on the best part of his season. I know it's head to head, but he's got value at 2nd base.
