Any of These Players Worth Picking Up?

Postby bmd » Tue Mar 03, 2009 6:43 pm

I'm in a very deep league that uses a salary cap. I have a few roster spots to fill up and I'm running out of caps space. I'm looking to add another corner infielder, middle infielder, and outfielder. Here's the best available players:

Middle Infielders: Eugenio Velez, Emilio Bonifacio, Macier Izturis, Jeff Keppinger, Jason Bartlett

Corner Infielders: Wilson Betemit, Travis Ishikawa, Jeff Larish, Russel Branyan

Outfielders: Michah Hoffpauir, Marcus Thames, Seth Smith, Josh Anderson, Nate Schierholtz


Who on this list is worth picking up for bench spots?

Look for Ishikawa to hit for more power this season, he could surprise. Think of him as a poor man's Joey Votto in a less favorable park for hitters.

The Marlins want to use Bonifacio at 3rd a lot this year and also want him to be comfortable in the outfield. He appears to be Ryan Freel Version 2. I'd keep an eye on those two.

Ouch...nothing but ugly here.

I'd throw in Smith as an OF to keep an eye on...can't hurt sitting on your bench.

Schierholz could surprise people a little bit...
