    1.) Delmon Young - You've already got Wright at 3B, so that makes Michael Young a bit less useful. On the otherhand, you don't have a single outfielder that is a lock for keeping. Delmon should only be on the rise, he's still only 25. Michael on the other hand is getting older, he will likely regress a bit from last season's numbers.

    2.) Carlos Marmol - Underrated for fantasy. Seriously, have you seen this guy's K rate? He finished last season with more strikeouts than some starters (e.g. Clay Buchholz, Trevor Cahill). I'd gladly take his minor drop in ERA/WHIP (from Soria or Bell) for a ton more K's.

    3.) Madison Bumgarner - Young pitcher with tons of potential. Pitched 100+ innings last season finishing with a 3.00-flat ERA. An ERA around 3.50-3.70 this season while pitching for a quality lineup should be expected. His strikeout ratio isn't spectacular but he shows good control.

    Michael Young, Carlos Marmol, Madison Bumgarner.

    These three will give you the best production in 2011 IMO, but Sizemore and Bell were also intriguing to me. Without Sizemore's health a certainty I won't waste a pick on him.

    Good luck!

    hey you have a great team so far, but for the first set i would pick michael young. he is a very consistent player who hits for average, then in the second set i would say heath bell, first of all you don't have a closer and he is one of the best so ya, then in the last set i would take madison bumgarner as he is a very good pitcher that posts a low era hope this helps!
