      How many do you keep? i had Hunter as well but i recently let him go. he wasnt part of my long term future of my team and was giving me in avg. I'd let go of Scott and probably Belt as well. Your pitching needs help obviously and i would just give up on Bell. He isnt closing and just keeps giving up runs.

        You keep six total players..

        The problem in letting Scott/Belt/Bell go is there aren't better options on the waiver wire.

        We have a rule where you are allowed 22 total transactions for the year. If you have someone on the DL you can pick someone up without it counting towards your 22 - so the waiver wire is very very thin.

      I can see how this team is struggling. Your offense BA is probably poor as well as HR's. Your pitching staff has a lot of flavors of the week (ie. Lynn, Smyly). I would sell high on these guys same goes for Cespedes if he goes on another tear.

      Cespedes is in your starting lineup and is currently on the DL

      Hunter is currently NA also in your starting lineup

      D. Hudson is currently on the DL

      You have no backups at SS & 3B

      Two of your closers have been shaky

      Your pitching staff needs improvement. Also, you only have one good closer and 2 iffy one at the moment. Also, SB might be weak (even with Bonafacio)
