Answer 1

Loney's good enough to use daily, and there's no way you're using Votto for a Util position. your relief pitching is quite thin, and i'm guessing you don't have a ton of options available on the waiver wire. Ziegler is throwing up zeroes every outing, and figures to get a few more save opps while keeping ERA and WHIP down.

i think it's an easy call. you can keep a seat on the bench warm or pick up a pitcher you can use and keep in the lineup every day.  

Answer 2

yes  

Answer 3

Yeah. Loney's a pretty good first baseman and you can get another reliever. There's not really a need to have more than one good position player.
