Pick up Wainwright for sure. He looks very promising and had a great outing in his 1st start. As for Lidge, it looks like he is very close to losing his job to Dan Wheeler. Don't pick up Lidge.

Pick up Willingham for Willy Taveraz

i like wainwright more than olsen.
is this a daily transaction league? if so you might need a 4th OF, otherwise i'd suggest dropping taveras for wainwright if you really like olsen.
you could maybe drop taveras for willingham like dude suggested, but i personally like hawpe more than willingham even though he hits lower in the order. i just think willingham's more prone to having cold streaks.

Pick up Willingham. He's streaky, but good.

Willingham over Taveraz.
Are there any other relievers available? Its hard to imagine Torres is your 2nd best option for RP.

I'd take James over Dave Bush.

Ya I missed my draft so unfortunatly I ended up with only 1 closer and later picked up Torres. Al Reyes, Brad Lidge, David Weathers, Rafael Soriano, Chad Paronto and David Riske are available relievers

I'd definitely say no to Lidge now that Wheeler is going to be the closer in Houston. I just picked up Wheeler for Igawa in one of my leagues.

i'd prolly go with al reyes out of those guys. unless you're not as concerned about saves, otherwise i'd go with soriano. reyes had a great yr for the cards before TJ surgery last yr. he was pretty dominant with a 2.15ERA .93 WHIP .177BAA to go along with a K per IP in 05'. that being said, he's a 37 y/o journeyman coming off of TJ surgery.

Don't pick up Lidge.
