Hmm, tough call, and I own all three players in the deal. Niese has been bad so far, but I believe he's better than this. Holland's a solid closer, despite his early struggles. Machado is off to a great start and could keep this up, but is he really that much better than Middlebrooks and Moustakas? ...

1. After Halladay's last horrible start, I re-proposed a trade that had previously been rejected as "too imbalanced": I give: Halladay and Sandoval I get: R Zimmerman and Medlen This time, the trade was accepted. Dude's a Giants fan, so maybe I could've asked for more for a healthy Sandoval, but I t...

Ethier was just dropped in my league. Is he worth dropping Michael Saunders or Carlos Villanueva for? And how much of my $100 Waiver Pickup Budget should I bid?

I agree with those who recommend Moose and Lucroy. Another OF option -- if he's available -- is Michael Saunders. He's got 3SB on the season so far, and he's supposed to be back from the DL later this week.

Thanks. I just dropped Hughes for Mujica.

With Halladay acting like a live grenade in my hand, I'm trying to shore up my pitching staff. There aren't a lot of options available, but I've got roster space to stash someone if he's got enough upside. Is it worth dropping Hughes to stash Gerrit Cole? Or gambling on Dan Straily?

Time to do it, or am I better off waiting for him to right the ship? I was thinking about trying to package him with Jose Fernandez for another struggling potential ace, or just sending him alone for a lower-ceiling guy Other underperforming pitchers: A. No way in hell owners are selling - Hamels - ...

Domonic Brown and Brett Gardner are both available. Drop Ichiro for either? And how much (if any) of my waiver pickup $100 budget should I bid?

Thanks!

Definitely don't trade away Shields. Your pitching staff isn't strong enough for you to be weakening it in order to bring back a closer. Either play the waiver wire for potential closer candidates or trade your bench bats for closers.

I wouldn't do it. Felix is a stud, but I think that's too much to give up, and I wouldn't feel comfortable relying on Rutledge and Aybar for your middle infield. Your pitching staff is already pretty solid with Strasburg, Medlen, Cueto, and Parker in Grey's top 35 pitchers.
