Kearns or Upton?

Kearns or Upton? Who will be more valuable the rest of this year. Kearns will be out another 6 weeks and Upton will be up before then, but which one will be worth more from this point till the end? Is there any other Call-Up or injured guy that will produce more than these guys the rest of the year?

i would take anyone over Kearns the guy gets injuried and surgery like once a week

Justin Morneau or David Wright?

Are you filling an extra roster spot or are you filling a starting position? If it's an extra bench spot I'd take a gamble on one of the young call-ups but I'd look elsewhere if it's a starting position.

[Sunspot]

It's a roster spot that might never be used, but I would like to gamble on a youngster, just wondering which one. Upton, McPherson, Wright, Morneau seem to be good gambles, is there anyone else to consider?

from cbssportsline:

Austin Kearns requires surgery to remove scar tissue from his right thumb. He is expected to miss another four to six weeks.
(Updated 06/29/2004).
FANTASY ANALYSIS
Kearns will have a bone spur, callous and scar tissue removed on Friday. Ryan Freel and Wily Mo Pena will continue to split at-bats in right field while he is on the mend.

[Sunspot]

Right, but Kearns might be back the same time some of these guys get called up, so where does he rank in with these types?

[benjapage]

tough call, my man. i would have to say kearns because of his experience, and because the extra time his shoulder has been allowed to heal (from last year). it's a hand injury, so the only thing he'd be missing is his timing. as an extremely talented hitter, his swing won't take long to return.
