Answer 1

Pena by far, with crawford and longoria out he will have to put up the expected numbers

Answer 2

If this is a keeper league, you might want to grab Pence, but it doesn't

look like you need help this year in the outfield.  For immediate help, I would take Pena since you are a little exposed at 1st base.  If this is a move to contend this year, take Pena.

But it really looks like you need help at relief pitching.  Are there any relief pitchers available that can get you some saves.  That is what looks like your real weakness in the roster above.

Answer 3

If this was a keeper, I would tell you to keep Pence...he has the most upside out of those 3.

However, looking at your roster, you seem to be fine in OF, but a little weak at 1B with only Looney there. So I would pick up Pena.

I don't trust Byrd and your lineup is already good enough without wasting a pick on him. Try to help your team and take Pena.

Answer 4

marlon byrd

Answer 5

you have a great team and this is a hard choiceall the choices are great i think maybe for your team Carlos will be best

Answer 6

It looks to me as though you need more power at 1B. Pena seems to have gotten on a roll.

Good luck.

Answer 7

For this year, right now...I'd pick up Marlon Byrd.  He has been electric the past week or so, and Pence has been inconsistent.  Carlos Pena...he's a batting average killer in my opinion.  Sure, he'll get your home runs, but he will kill your average.
