Default FA Pickup advice

Got a few options on the FA table. FAs don't get streamed in my league, as we only get 25 adds a season. There's usually plenty of hot players available.

First up. I have Berkman on DL. Is he a better option than Ortiz (just dropped)?

I'm going to drop Cueto. Pavano and Penny are both off to big starts, which one should I grab?
Also, is this Colby Lewis guy worth consideration? His career stats flat out suck.
Carlos Villanueva? 2 K/IP atm. Worth grabbing him as an additional reliever (in a SP roster spot)?

Last, I feel I should drop a pitcher for another bat. Who deserves to be cut after Cueto?

Dude, you don't have a SP to drop. Don't be silly. They are all awesome. Maybe one of your RP but you probably need them. Pavano and Penny, I like these guys chances of having a good year but not many people believe this so no rush to grab them. I prefer Berkman to Ortiz, he's just terrible. Hope that helps.

Yeah keep Berkman.

Do you have only 2 RPs for 3 RP spots? If so I would drop cueto and grab an RP.

If not I would drop Cueto for Penny.

Cueto has great talent but still not ready for prime time yet, Given the miracles that Dave Duncan works with his pitching reclamation projects (see Joel Piniero) I'd highly consider Penny. But, I'd scour for a very good RP. Take a look to see if anyone's hopped on Gregg yet. Daniel Bard is also a good one.

As far as Ortiz vs Berkman, I'd probably hold onto Berkman and I'm a die-hard Red Sox fan so that pains me to say. He's already being bumped down in the order (6th) and was pinch hit for last night with runners in scoring position.
