Wandy is in the FA pool in our league, should I swap Trevor Cahill for him?

In my very rudimentary analysis of the two, I would tend to favor Rodriguez but if it's a keeper league or dynasty league, the scales tip to Cahill.
I do love Cahill's extreme groundball tendencies. Though I think in terms of pure stuff, Wandy is more trustworthy to this point, Cahill really helps himself keeping the ball down.
I do think Wandy has been a bit lucky to this point, to a small degree. He's got a very unsustainable strand rate, which is helping the ERA. My guess is he's due for a bit more of a rough patch in the weeks ahead.
So my opinion: I still probably favor Wandy, but if it's a league where there are keepers, stick with Cahill.

Thanks Brutus, kinda my thoughts on the issue. Plus Wandy is a second half pitcher.
Massaged the roster a bit, and got Wandy in at the expense of carrying an extra outfielder, but it has left my bench thin.
