Def Jones out of those 3. I think he is the best right now and could provide big value this year...

[mkuz]

Add Elijah Dukes in that mix too... he was just dropped. Not sure why.

Adam Jones
Elijah Dukes
Daniel Murphy
Adam LInd

Pick 1 please.

Btw, this is my whole team:
C-Navarro
1b-Fielder
2b-DeRosa
3b-Davis
SS-Reyes
Of-Lee, Rios, McLouth
Util-Ad. Gonzalez(1b)
Bench-Votto(1b), K.Matsui(2b), Salty(C), ________(Of)

I would take a shot on Dukes then.

Adam Jones and don't think twice

[SpecialFNK]

i like Jones and Murphy more than Dukes. Dukes is a wild card, literally. plus that OF in Washington is crowded.
i think Jones gets an edge over Murphy. one reason being Jones is pretty much guaranteed playing time in Baltimore, where Murphy could lose playing time to the other Mets OF. Jones is expected to bat 2nd between Roberts and Markakis. im expecting big numbers from Jones. he might even break your starting OF giving you an option to trade one of the others for help elsewhere.

help?

Yup, since this is a backup OFer I'll take the guy with the highest upside...that is Dukes.

[Amazinz]

I think since it's for a bench player I would take the player with the highest upside. I know many will disagree here but I think Jones will be lucky to go 275/15/10 this season. Dukes will have the lesser average obviously but I think will beat him across the board. I'm a Murphy fan obviously and he's a good sleeper in deeper leagues but doubt he has the power to be in the conversation. I do think he will out-BA Jones though and Dukes for sure.

for me another vote on Jones he could surprise alot of people this year plus he will hit behind Roberts and in font of Nick not a bad sandwich to be in.

[Captain Furtah]

Yes but wouldn't hitting behind Reyes and in front of Wright be the better sandwich?
