With Reyes to the DL, I have an open spot on my roster. I'm able to replace Reyes at SS internally, so this is just a guy to fill out the roster. With that in mind, I'd like some upside. I've narrowed my choices to Johnson and Snider.
It's an OPS league, making Johnson fairly attractive--especially in that park and at the top of that lineup.
Snider is a wild card, but I have a good feeling that he could really break through this year. Seems like he might be just the upside option I'm looking for as the last man on the roster.
I'd go Nick Johnson- Snider still sounds like a year or two away and Johnson plays in that hitter friendly park and doesn't have to face CC, Burnett & Mariano
Love Snider's upside going forward. Johnson is an injury waiting to happen. I'd hate to miss out on Snider's breakout if it happens this year. Not even close. Good luck!

I'd go with Snider. You're not counting on him for a full time roster spot, and this could be a breakout year. The upside justifies the pick at this point.
