I'm in 1st place by 3.5 games and I'm currently playing the last place (dead) team.

Maine has 3 upcoming starts out of 6 (counting every 5th game) where he might be start-worthy: WAS, FLA, STL.  However, they're the last 3 games of the season.  I have 13 roster moves remaining and even if Maine gets picked up by someone else I could still use those moves to stream pitchers if need be.

I picked up Wakefield when Hamels went on the DL.  I figure I could drop Maine for someone like Huff, who has had a great August.  My record in the HR category for the season is 6-12-2.  It's the only category where I have a losing mark.  The problem is deciding on whether to go with a SB-heavy lineup in the OF or a HR-heavy one.  I've benched Hawpe so many times based on whether he's facing a LH starter, that I've been screwed out of HRs he gets off of RH relievers.

Also available:
Matt Diaz
Nate McLouth
Jack Cust
Jayson Werth
Macier Izturis
Joaquin Benoit

Diaz doesn't play everyday.  McLouth's power streak might be over.  Cust would be a HR and RBI boost.  Werth might not play as much now with Victorino back.  Izturis is the best MI option available to perhaps fill in for Figgins while he's on the shelf.  Benoit would help out my ratios moreso than Maine.  Benoit has a 0.00 ERA in the last month; Maine's is near 8.00.  Benoit would also get the occasional W, SV and HLD.

What do you guys think?

I would not bother chasing HR if you have consistently lost that catagory.  I would use the spot for 2 start pitchers with good matchups.
