Fontenot and Cano are about equal, and I'd favor the Cub because Cano has been excruciating every time I've owned him and he just isn't very good.

At the outfield, I would take Cody Ross over Dickerson who was playing over his head in his brief MLB stint last year.

Fantasy sports are ruled by the 50-50-90 rule...

Anytime you have a 50/50 choice between two players, 90% of the time, you'll get it wrong

I think you need to add Murphy and drop Andruw Jones.

I'd stand pat too, though Dan. Murphy could be a possible pick-up for Dickerson. Let some games start before you make any moves though.

Sorry I should've stated that I have Adam Jones not Andruw Jones....Adam's stats this spring are looking up with all those steals, and his 2nd half wasn't so bad either. I was also leaning towards dropping dickerson for murphy, but I'd love to hear from Reds fans on their thoughts on Dickerson. He's leading the Reds this spring in just about every category (I know it's just spring stats but still).

Any other thoughts?

The guys most interesting off that list would be Dan Murphy, Church, and Snell...that said the move I would most consider making would be Dickerson for Dan Murphy because I don't really Dickerson that much-he has mediocre upside and lots of downside. murphy, I feel, getting 600 ab's could get 90-100 runs, and 15-20 homers and sbs, w/ a pretty decent average.

Looking for one more opinion:
