Who is a better pick up? Swisher, Dukes, DeJesus, Schumaker, Hawpe.....?

Question

I am dropping Furcal (placed on the 60 day DL) and need to pick up an outfielder. These are the names of the players available on waiver:

Swisher (Rank 22 yahoo in last month)

Dukes (Rank 12 yahoo in last month)

DeJesus (Rank 20 yahoo in last month)

Schumaker (Rank 58 yahoo in last month)

Hawpe (Rank 75 yahoo in last month)

Answer 1

I li e Swisher for 2 reasons #1 he is a switch hitter and is eligible at other positions and #2 he is on a very good White Sox team

Answer 2

dejesus is hot

Answer 3

id go with swisher or hawpe.  both have shown they can be a nice asset to any fantasy team.  swisher would be my choice overall cuz of his switch-hitting ability and the team he plays for.  hawpe plays in a hitters park and has proven to be good over the past couple of years.  forget the other guys

Answer 4

hawpe is the only player in the list who has  been hot for more than the last month  he has had 3 or 4  solid years before.  the rest  you have no idea about.   hawpe struggled  to start the season but has really been hitting  the ball well since he came off the DL.   also he i hitting in colorado  the rest are not in hitters ballparks

Answer 5

Unfortunately Hawpe is still sharing some time in the Colorado OF. Dukes is hot but I don't know if that can continue. I'm riding him now but Swisher is probably the best long term pickup.

Good luck. Have fun.
