I'd go Blalock until he gets hurt too, and then pick up Branyan. Keep an eye on Stewart though. Kid has a lot of talent and upside and with Atkins sucking, he has a chance to take over at 3B if he can produce. If he starts getting things going grab him before someone else does.

If you are concerned with average the safer bets are probably Rolen, Blalock, and Mora with career averages in the mid 270s to mid 280s. In contrast Branyan and Stewart (small sample size) are career 230 something bats and Reynolds and Feliz sit in the 250s. Hitters tend to revert to their norms so don't put a ton of emphasis on a short six week period to open the season. If Branyan hits 235 and Blalock 275 for the next month or so (their norms) you won't really see it looking at their cummulative stats, given their starts. The inordinate impact of slow/fast starts fools fantasy owner perception every season.
Of the guys in the higher average group I think Blalock and then Rolen should provide the most power/production. If you are concerned most with production then Reynolds or Branyan are your choice. IMO you're essentially just looking for a patch until Aramis returns so current health is all that matters. Don't worry too much about injury histories at this point as you can simply replace this pickup if he goes down. Of your options I'd roll with Blalock. ;-D
