Guys to get…

Well, here comes the first FAAB this weekend — and there are some good players out there.

Jay Bruce is on the wire. Everyone keeps asking me about him. Currently 7 for 28 with a double, a triple, and a homer for the Louisville Bats. (www.minorleaguebaseball.com) He’ll probably be up in May or June.

Joey Votto is having a slow start, but all the projections have him mashing – 23/24 HR, 15-17 SB, 820 OPS. He’d be worth a buck, I’d think.

Velez on the Giants won’t give you power, but he’s free steals — maybe 30?

Everyone seems to think that speed can be had on the cheap this year. Not like it was 4-5 years ago, when you could practically win the league with 60 SB.

Of course, right now Uncle Bud is beating the Termites with their -2 nSB. Heh.

Bengie Molina is a better option than some of these catchers… like David Ross.

I still think Clark’s team is looking pretty good… he’d need a really good reason to trade. After that, I’d go with the Termites and the ‘Topes.

Matt Murton doesn’t suck, either.

And, of course, Barry lurks out there somewhere. He’ll probably go to the AL, but still…
