Who should i pickup off the FA? Stubbs is in a funk and I need someone to feel in for him until Beltre comes back.
Jeff Francoeur Josh Willingham Seth Smith Michael Brantley Carlos Pena Mitch Moreland Lucas Duda Casey Kotchman Alfonso Soriano Kyle Blanks Delmon Young Josh Reddick Jose Tabata
I'm leaning towards Duda, Francoeur, or Young since Moreland got injured. And Young was just traded to the Tigers. What do y'all think though?
WHIR just leave a link

i like Seth Smith the most out of all of em, but Lucas Duda has been putting up nice numbers recently, and is dual position elig. Id probably lean towards one of those two
Does no one think Delmon Young would be a good add? He has been hitting very well since going to the Tigers and is batting 3rd in front of Miguel Cabrera.
I'm having a hard time deciding between Duda, Blanks or Young.
And I forgot to include Jose Tabata on the list, if that makes a difference. He did hit a homer in his second game back.
Of Duda, Blanks and Young I'd probably go with Young, if only because of the line-up he'll have around him going forward. It should boost his production a bit from here on out. Never been a huge fan of Duda, but he's been fairly consistent, and Blanks has decent potential but is a big wild card.
I recently dropped Young due to guys coming off the DL, but it was tough because I love that he is batting in front of Cabrera. If you league honors doubles, he is great for that. He won't walk much or homer much, and rbis are sporadic. But he'll score runs in front of those guys. I like Duda as a more well-rounded bat, but he has a lousy supporting cast. I'd probly take either over Blanks, who i suspect could cool off.
Thanks for helping with mine. As for yours, I would go with Young. I think the move to Detroit will help immensely and he will do much better with a more rounded lineup.
