I would definately grab Billingsley. He's one of the top pitching prospects in LA since Fernando Valenzuela. He has a 96 MPH fastball, a sick sider and a good curveball. He's got tremendous strikeout potential and is on a solid Dodger's club that will provide wins.
Of course, he's only 21, and he could be erratic early in his career, much like Cole Hamels, but his upside is definately well worth the risk.
As for who to drop, Gil Meche has been surprisingly good, throwing a complete game his last time out, so I would definately hold onto him. Between Davis and Snell, either of them could be dropped. They are both decent pitchers, with potential to be very good but so far they havent shown it, so you can live without either of them.
Um... I think I answered this same question like an hour ago.

Yeah, I wouldn't grab Billingsley just yet, 'til he's solidly entrenched in the rotation. The way Tomko & O. Perez have pitched for L.A., he may be, very soon.....
Of the group you mentioned, Snell's the strongest at the moment. Meche & Davis (especially Davis) are having very disappointing seasons so far. Davis was a top-10 K guy last year.

This kid has UNBELIEVABLE potential. He's been one of the top 2-3 guys in a farm system that is stocked to the gills wih great players. I don't think it would be a good idea to pick him up for a fantasy league this year... As the old Brooklyn Dodgers fans used to say "Wait 'til next year"
