Struggling

Sherrill and Villanueva are still unowned... who should I drop? I'm thinking Motte, but don't know who else...

At this point, I'd drop Motte for Sherrill. Not that I'm sure he'll hold onto the job all year, but Ray's given him a little rope, now. Villanueva's tough. It's hard to say how long he'll have the job. I'd think about dropping Burrell or Young for him. I guess, push comes to shove, with all the outfielders, I'd probably drop Burrell for him, but I have misgivings about it (I think Burrell has value, I'm sceptical about Young, and I'm not sure how long Villanueva will be a closer).

Thing is, I might be able to trade Burrell for Sandoval (who would be my C and an upgrade over Ramon) and then drop Ramon for Villanueva, which would be awesome. Even if Villanueva doesnt hold the job for long, as long as he is a reliever, he is awesome for ratios and K's... So ill do motte for sherrill for now

If that deal is available, that's definitely a better option.

I agree, I would do that trade.

Even though Burrell has power value, he is a worse option than Adam Dunn, who will walk and pad the run stats.

I would not get worried yet, it is a loooooong season. Prince Fielder hasn't even started to hit yet, he should help get your team out of the bottom of the standings. As for your catcher issue, I would look to upgrade from Hernandez, the Burrell for Sandoval deal is ok, but I would make sure there aren't any decent catchers available on the WW before you make a move. I would drop Motte for Sherril.
