Matsui if you don't need more speed, Crisp if you do.

I like Delmon Young or E. Dukes the most out of that list.
I think Young will give you a better boost to your avg., while Dukes gives you a little bit more power. I would use whichever stat you think you need the most (avg. or HR) to make the decision.
Keep in mind that Dukes does walk a lot, so even though he might hurt your batting avg. somewhat, i don't think he will hurt your OBP.
Good Luck!

I say you go with potential (Maybin), but if you want someone slightly proven who could do damage I would take Dukes and then Francoeur

Thanks for your help on mine.
Some more help on a followup?

Watch out Delmon's power stroke has come back, but you have to worry about 5 OF splitting time for 4 positions. I'd go with Dukes 30/30 potential (think Chris B. Young) slightly higher BA though. A poor man's Soriano. I'd go with Matsui or Maybin next. I'm high on Gomez as well.
The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be!

If Delmon can get guaranteed playing time he's the top choice. Similar thoughts on Dukes now that Dunn is in Washington (lots of upside, but maybe not the playing time). I think Crisp might actually be the safest bet. Lots of steals, less pressure than Boston. Good bet to revert back to his Cleveland days.
