Current Outfield:
1. Carlos Lee (cant drop)
2. Matt Holliday
3. Moises Alou (bats after Delgado and Beltran so may not be much left).
Or I could probably drop Chad Tracy or Hank Blalock... thanks for your opinions

Pick up Cuddyer and drop Alou. He is aging and has been hurt the last couple of seasons, cant see him staying healthy now. Cuddyer is also better than either Tracy or Blalock but both are worth keeping. Cuddyer hit .284 with 24 HR and 109 RBI, scored 102 and even stole 6 sacks last year so to the guy (JonnyG) who said he is fantasy fodder ....numbers win fantasy and those are pretty good numbers in any league. It was his first full season opportunity and he hits between Morneau and Mauer, numbers likely will be even better this year. An outfield of Lee, Holliday and Cuddyer would be among the best in your league (how many guys have 3 outfielders that all drove in at least 109 runs? and scored over 100?). Drop Alou and pick up Cuddyer quickly and enjoy an incredibly productive fantasy outfield.

Michael Cuddyer should be a definite pickup for your solid outfield. He struggle to find his space the past few season until Manager Ron Gardenhire decided to bat him cleanup in 2006 between Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau, so
1) Gardenhire wouldn't have two left-handed batter going back-to-back in the lineup and
2) give confidence to the young OF/DH. This experiment work, as Cuddyer went from super utility player to a 100 RBI machine, while finding a permanent position in RF.
Batting between Mauer (who lead the AL with a .347 batting average in 2006) and Moreneau (the 2006 AL MVP) should help Cuddyer drive in another 20 HR, 100 RBI season and as a added bonus, he's reaching the age where most players breakout (27), so he's bound to be an elite, so pick him up right now.
I wouldn't drop Chad Tracy because although he's playing for a young team, he is the only experience batter in the lineup and could lead his team in HR and RBI by season's end. Hank Blalock is still a capable 3B, so I would just hang him by a thread if he starts to struggle at some point. Alou is still capable of putting a .300 batting average, but his age and the lineup won't let him produce a solid season, so I would drop him.

Take my advice and drop Alou to pick up Cuddyer ASAP. Alou will be lucky to play 130 games. Cuddyer will give you a solid AVG with 20 - 25 HRs and tons of runs and RBI's. He's batting cleanup on a very good offense.
As for your 3B, Blalock is a good hitter at home (Texax) but horrible on the road. Check his splits for the last 3 seasons. He's also much better in the first half and declines in the second half. Because of this, I think you should hold on to Tracy. Start Blalock when he plays at home and Tracy when away. If and when Blalock starts to drop off again in the second half, go ahead and drop him.

Cuddyer is rated as good as he is. Do not pick him up. He is fantasy fodder. Holliday and Lee will mash and put up huge numbers. Alou is going to be in a stacked lineup, so if they are going to pitch to anyone its going to be Alou. Don't get rid of Tracy, but Blalock is expendable. Your outfield is fine however, don't change it.

You mentioned it your self, Upton has greater upside and Cuddyer is greater consistent. in case you will have a participant be on your beginning outfield, circulate with Cuddyer (you may greater helpful have a stud infield to compensate). yet whilst its for a reserve spot, take Upton and spot how he does earlier enjoying him. i like Longoria and can stash him on my bench if in a position. i do in contrast to Morales as plenty. His administration has been off all spring. in spite of final year's fulfillment, I nonetheless do no longer have faith Rockies pitchers.
