Torii Hunter may be a nice option, he may be on the trading block this year though. Curtis Granderson should be solid. If you want to go more towards steals you could opt for Corey Patterson.

Is it a keeper, because Chris B. Young could be a nice pick, Gary Matthews Jr. might not be bad hitting at the top of the angels lineup although i dont think he will have a year like last year, Crisp could also have a decent rebound year for boston

I'd go with Mike Cameron- you're talking 20-20 with an 800 OPS or Torii Hunter.

Yeah I didnt see Avg. wasnt a category so Cameron would be a good choice, makes Chris B. Young look a little better to me as well

Yeah DeJesus might not be bad if he would stay healthy for a full year

Crisp will most likely be hitting towards the bottom of the red sox order with Lugo filling in the leadoff spot, which will limit his numbers a bit.

Edmonds is washed up and Dejesus just won't put up anything impressive, he will hit a good avg, but thats not one of the scoring categories

Crisp had offseason finger surgery, and Francona came out and said that Crisp still has some pain in his finger. While he is a breakout candidate for a nice rebound season, I would avoid him until he proves himself.

Im going completely in the opposite direction. I think Pena finally realizes his 40 hr potential, he will only hit .260 and he will K 150 times though.

Jeremy Hermida....he is available at lf cf rf....that would be nice for a league that uses those positions....you think hermida going to rebound though from last season?

Hunter or Cameron. But if you're feeling frisky, Crisp could pay off nicely. And Hermida will EXPLODE one day, but is this his year?

Corey Patterson could give you 20HR/40SB without hurting your BA very much. Not bad at all.

I think Chris Duffy will break out in a small way this season. He'll hit for a .280 or so avg. Not any power to speak of(Less then 5 hr.) but lots of SB. I am projecting him for 40 or so if he holds the job all year long. Its not like PIt. has anyone else to play.
