Need some help guru's.

Roster:
C - Matt Wieters
1B - Billy Butler
2B - Brandon Phillips
3B - Pablo Sandoval
SS - Alexie Ramirez
IF - Brandon Belt
OF - Justin Upton
OF - Dexter Fowler
OF - Bryce Harper
OF - Matt Holliday
UT - Jay Bruce
BN - Jason Heyward
BN - Kendrys Morales
DL - Derek Jeter
DL - Chase Headley (Off DL tomorrow)

I can't really drop any pitchers, this is a money league and I was autodrafted basically a stacked hitting team with weak pitching and did patch work for now. CC Sabathia, Jaime Garcia, Andy Pettitte, Homer Bailey, Ryan Dempster, Hisashi Iwakuma, Shelby Miller as starters. Jim Johnson, Addison Reed, and Grant Balfour as closers.

Who the hell do I drop for Headley? Pettitte is my top choice right now but damn I hate to drop a P that's been fantastic since last year. I hate to drop Miller, I'm a Cards fan and I know his talent even as a rookie and he's #53 overall rank right now, someone would take him.

I could drop Belt, he was my leading candidate beforehand but he's starting to heat up, someone would take him as well, but well worth it for Headley no?

Dropped Belt.

I like Morales for the 1B backup and occasional Util or INF start.

Of course Headley's first game back tonight is vs Kershaw, so kind of wished I waited one more day but oh well.

Also, is Jeter even worth hanging on to anymore?

Timetable setback once again yesterday.

Could drop him for Erik Aybar right now and put Aybar on the DL (back in about a week) and have Alexei Ramirez + Aybar instead of waiting 2 months on Jeter.

I'm still holding him in one league. There's nothing remotely decent available on the wire, so no reason not to.

Girardi said no setback too, I thought.

Said no chance May 1st target date will even be close, yesterday, took that as a setback.

I can get Aybar right now off FA and drop Jeter.

Why? Aybar sucks. Not really worth it. It is like there is a valuable dl stash like tex, Hart, or beachy unavailable.

Because I play the matchups between him and Ramirez compared to waiting 2 months for Jeter who will probably be a shell of his former self with that ankle and all the issues.

Aybar hit .290 last year with 8 HR and 45 RBI to go with 150 hits, 67 runs, 20 stolen bases.

Was hitting .321 to start the year before getting a heal bruise that has him out about another week.
