Thinking of dropping Shin-Soo Choo for Daniel Murphy after hearing he's going to hit 2nd for the Mets. There are other guys on the FA list I'm looking at, but I've had tunnel vision cause I'd have the likely 2-5 hitters for the Mets if I picked him up.

Other FAs I'm Looking At:
Conor Jackson
Rick Ankiel
Mike Cameron
Carlos Gomez
Hideki Matsui
Melvin Mora

As for pitchers, once A-Roid's on the DL, I'm planning on picking up one of the following:
Chien-Ming Wang
Hiroki Kuroda
Chris Volstad
Fausto Carmona
Jair Jurrjens
Jason Motte
Kevin Gregg

Keep Choo, he rocked the WBC and looks like a .300 20/20 player

keep choo...i like him more than any other. Murphy is interesting, but untested and unproven

as for the pitcher, this will depend on how your league values closers....i like gregg (but, my league values them highly)
but if you want a SP instead go for Wang....close 2nd though is volstad


Larussa is a revolving door at the closer spot.



please help

Keep Choo. Dan Murphy doesn't even list above many of those FAs. Wang would be my pitcher although I'm not as high on him as most.

[HOOTIE]

Motte

Wait on Murphy. For pitching I would take Wang, he won't get a lot of SO but he is solid.

Choo over murphy


pick up wang he should be owned even in an 8 teamer

Volstad is the one with the most upside, Wang will get wins but twill cost you ERA, WHIP, and k's, since you are set at closer with Nathan and Broxton the safest bet would be Kuroda, okay on K's, good WHIP and ERA, and should get wins with the Dodgers line-up
