Better FA pickup: Jody Gerut or Ryan Sweeney?

[GrandAdmiralDan]

Who would be a better FA pickup? Jody Gerut or Ryan Sweeney? One negative regarding Sweeney for me is that I have two other players from Oakland currently in Orlando Cabrera and Jack Cust. I am pretty opposed to having 3 players on my team all from the same actual team, roster balance wise. When Oakland has a day off, suddenly I'm 3 available bats down. However, a few days ago I proposed a trade involving Jack Cust, so if that gets accepted that would take me back down to only 2 Oakland players including Sweeney, which would be fine.

I'm in a head to head Yahoo league with 16 teams.
Our batting categories are: R, H, HR, RBI, SB, BB, AVG, SLG
Our pitching categories are: IP, W, L, SV, K, ERA, WHIP

The offensive positions are C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, LF, CF, RF, OF, Util, Util


I am punting on L, SV, ERA, WHIP and will try to use heavy streaming to consistently take the IP, W, and K cats. I specifically focused on offensive players (first 18 of my 25 draft picks were batters)

My current roster:
C, 3B Russel Martin LAD
1B Albert Pujols STL
2B Brandon Philips CIN
3B, 1B Hank Blalock TEX
SS Jose Reyes NYM
LF, RF Andre Either LAD
CF Vernon Wells TOR
RF Brad Hawpe COL
OF, RF Jeremy Hermida FLA - soon to have LF eligibilty
Util SS Orlando Cabrera OAK
Util CF, RF Denard Span MIN
BN 1B Paul Konerko CWS
BN C, 1B, 3B Pablo Sandoval SFG
BN 2B Alexi Casilla MIN
BN LF,RF Jack Cust OAK
BN 2B,3B,SS,LF Felipe Lopez ARI
BN CF Colby Rasmus STL

I currently have 5 SPs on my roster, and I currently have 2 flex spots on my roster that I will use for streaming SPs on Tue, Wed, Fri, Sat, Sun and for streaming whatever I need (most of the time will be all batters) on Mondays and Thursdays.

Thanks in advance. WHIR

Gerut could surprise, once again. He used to be a top prospect, I think. Pick him up.
