Thanks for helping on mine....

I think that I would take David Murphy and Edgar Renteria. Here is why...

Murphy has a starting job in Texas and he produced last year when he played. I expect him to build on that this season.

You've got Andrus in your starting lineup. I don't think that it's a lock that he will be in the majors all season this year, or that he will produce if he is. Renteria gives you a nice veteran to replace him if you need to do so.

Renteria, i see Andrus struggling.

O Hudson, Weeks is a very risky 2B.

I would consider a multi-position guy like Wigginton as well. Not great at any one thing, but is a guy who usually will not kill you either.

Along with that, I like Casey Blake, good for 1b and 3b, and Figgins may dissapoint this year.

I also would go with Renteria and Hudson. YOu need them as backups as your MI options are questionable right now. And Renteria and Hudson have starting jobs and will produce at least avg. numbers.

thanks for your help with mine

Renteria and Hudson if it isn't too late. You're in trouble if Andrus struggles and if Rickie, well, be's Ricky :-S

Please help me out?
