If I had more room on my team, I would pick up…

Here is a few hitters who I have been watching the last few days but haven’t had the chance to put them on my roster due to lack of room, but darn… if only we had more bench spots…

Next week, pitchers get a look…

Catcher:

1. Jarrod Saltalamacchia: This guy has so much talent and can just hit. If he ever starts playing first base, I’ll just snatch him and and drop my current catcher.
2. John Buck: Actually a pretty good hitter for a catcher… he was highly touted a few years ago.

1st base:

1. Ryan Klesko: If you can figure out when his team faces right-handed pitching, stick him in the lineup. If he faces a lefty, you may definitely want to sit him.
2. Greg Dobbs: Similar to Klesko… but he can sure whack that ball.
3. Ryan Doumit: The day he plays every day is the day you have to have him. He can play three positions (1b, of, c)

2nd base:

1. Brendan Harris: Wow… I didn’t realize he was hitting .300…… and besides, he also plays shortstop.
2. Luis Castillo: He gets no respect… he hits .300, scores runs, and steals a few bases yet no one wants him…

Shortstop:

1. Christian Guzman: Another wow… this guy is hot right now… hitting .350…. even when Lopez comes back I think Guzman still must play somewhere.
2. Troy Tulowitzki: I think he’ll have nice power stats when the season is over… my guess he’ll hit close to 20 homers and get 75+ RBI…

OF:

1. Pat Burrell: I have a feeling he’ll get hot sometime soon. Besides, he is taking a lot of walks and shown some patience at the plate. I just have a good feeling about him.
2. Joey Gathright: You need steals? I got someone for you… his name is Joey and he plays for Kansas City… He will have 30+ steals before the season is done.
3. Juan Encarnacion: A decent power hitter who is slowly starting to hit well again. Shhhhh….
