NFT: Fantasy Traded Machado and Cole for Acuna and Wheeler

Sorry if this is too long

I traded Manny Machado 3B and Gerrit Cole SP1 for Ronald Acuna RF and Zach Wheeler (will probably be my SP2 now to Shane McClanahan). I am frustrated with myself for not accepting this trade at 1:06 today because then I would have gotten Cole's start in as a stream. Oh well.

For some reason I thought Witt was 3B and would lose SS eligibility next year so I didn't want him and Machado at same position but either way Acuna was the prize in the trade and Cole frustrated me last year with his blow up games so I felt it was worth getting Acuna in a keep forever. The way I constructed my lineup with Machado and Witt eligible at 3B and now Witt has to play 3B and Volpe, ready or not, is my SS since I missed out on targets Oneil Cruz and Jeremy Pena in my draft. I basically ignored 3B since I had Machado and Witt. We do individual OF positions (I know) and I missed out on all RF so I to fill the spot I drafted a couple dart throws Meneses and Nootbaar (in hindsight I now wish i took Miranda over Meneses).

I took Murphy as the 9th catcher because he fell and plugged Varsho in at RF even though I intended him to play RF for me. Now I can/have to move Varsho back to C although he can backup Caroll with LF too if I keep Murphy on my team. Did I make my team WEAKER with my trade? I basically have to bench Murphy to start Volpe or add someone from Free Agency to cover 3B or SS.

DRAFTED TEAM:

C - Sean Murphy

1b- Vinnie Pasquantino

2b - Andres Gimenez

SS- Bobby Witt

3b - Manny Machado

LF - Corbin Carroll

CF - Michael Harris, Jr.

RF - Daulton Varsho (was going to be my C but missed out on good RF so I took a decent C and moved him to RF)

Util - Bryan Reynolds

Util - Anthony Rizzo

Bench - Anthony Volpe Jonathan India Lars Nootbaar Joey Meneses

SP - Gerrit Cole, Shane McClanahan, Lance Lynn, Reid Detmers, Freddy Peralta, Andrew Heaney

RP - Ryan Helsley, Felix Bautista, Jose Leclerc

Who do I drop to help out 3B? I was already dropping Leclerc to stream Pitchers...
Murphy? Meneses? Nootbaar?
