My last pick...

Who should it be

LF/CF/RF - Gary Mathews Jr- decent back up .. versatile in all OF positions...some punch

I'd prefer you'd get some youngster with upside, I doubt any of your named choices ever break into your active lineup.

I'm not thrilled with many of your options, but it looks like you can use some power, so I would take either Thome or Burrell.
You have no frame of reference, Donny. You're like a child who walks into the middle of a movie...

Burrell is a good bet to bounce back, but I think Huff provides the most stability in terms of across the board production.

Burrell, I think he'll surprise us this year and be a useful power bat, he isn't THAT old yet

For every Brett Myers there's a Nate McLouth...

Burrell's numbers will probably be the best of the bunch... but the position flexibility of either Murphy or Matthews is very helpful especially when you have specific outfield positions.

Take a look at mine?

With daily matchups, I'd take any....literally any reliever who qualifies at SP to get another crack at holds when your starters aren't going.


If it's not daily lineups, I'd take another SP to have more cracks at a 2-start SP without resorting to streaming.

Either way, I don't want those hitters. Forced to take one from league rules? Burrell it up.
