I'm torn on which of these guys to carry on my team. I essentially can only keep one because of the strength of my bench. Which one do you think has the highest ceiling/most upside?
Elijah Dukes
Denard Span
Jayson Werth
I dropped Coco Crisp for Dukes figuring he has more upside, but both Span and Werth are available on the wire. What do you guys think?

What he said. Werth will end up with better end of the season numbers, but Dukes has it in him to go crazy (literally and figuratively) and post better numbers.
...Boston papers now and then suffer a sharp flurry of arithmetic on this score; indeed, for Williams to have distributed all his hits so they did nobody else any good would constitute a feat of placement unparalleled in the annals of selfishness. -Updike

What is up with all the Werth love this year?

People see 24 HRs and 20 SBs in 400 ABs and assume he can repeat that and keep that up over 550 ABs...
Call me a nonbeliever but I'll take the under in both HR/SB.... I see a 30 yo career backup, platoon guy who hit abnormally high # of HR against lefties. Maybe someone can convince me otherwise?
