Been looking for a solid Minor Leaguer, with a relatively quick call up and solid upside to potentially take the place of Burrell on my team. In looking at David Murphy for the Red Sox... Havent found too much information on him yet though.

Also keeping an eye on Josh Fields, read the White Sox may want to move him to the OF

Thanks for any thoughts you may have on this

Fields is a MUCH, MUCH better option than Murphy. It's entirely possible Fields could find a spot in the Chicago outfield next season, whereas Murphy has a long ways to go to even be a 4th OF in Boston. Go with Fields if no one else is available.

ditto, Murphy has lost the prospect tag before the season but has found it since the 2nd half last year. He's pretty old. Fields is so much better

I also just noticed a few minutes ago that Hunter Pence is available in my league

I'd take Pence, some don't like him. But I think he'll be a productive OF in the MLB relatively soon.

Been thinking about where to put him. If Garza is going to be a mainstay for the rest of the year in Minn. which with Liriano going on the DL that seems pretty likely.

Then I was thinking of just moving Garza up to my active roster and dropping A. Sanchez... Id think about dropping Duke but... I just cant bring myself to do that, same with Lee, need a experienced ML SP in my rotations besides Oswalt and Capuano
