My outfield on my fantasy baseball team is thin, very thin. my two best OF's are currently injured in LoMO and Corey Hart. So my current outfield is Austin Jackson, Sam Fuld and Alex Rios.

-Peter Bourjos
-Matt Joyce
-Michael Brantley
-David Murphy
-Brennan Boesch
-Jerry Sands
-Cameron Maybin
-Seth Smith
-Josh Willingham

Cameron Maybin. Bourjous is more of a glove guy, he's not a very good hitter yet. Matt Joyce's playing time is in question because of Sam Fuld's play. With Damon, Upton, and Fuld, there's not much room for him. Michael Brantley's playing time is cut because Grady Sizemore came back. David Murphy doesn't play consistently with Hamilton, Borbon, and Cruz getting all the starts in the outfield. Brennan Boesch would be safe, but Raburn gets some of the starts, and Carlos Guillen figures to take that starting spot. I honestly don't know anything about Jerry Sands, so I'm going to stay away from him. Willingham and Smith are both decent players, I just think Maybin is more productive.

Peter Bourjos: He is fast. That's all I have to say.
Matt Joyce: He is getting his chance to hit left-handed pitching now and is hitting over .300 now. I would wait to see if he can keep it up though.
Michael Brantley: He may be good right now, but his whole team is as well. Just like Matt Joyce, wait to see if he cools down or not.
David Murphy: Could potentially be a power outfielder, but pick him up at your own risk right now.
Brennan Boesch: Average power outfielder. He will probably hit somewhere between 12 - 20 homeruns.
Jerry Sands: Give him a longer time in the Bigs. Let him prove himself first...
Cameron Maybin: Very disappointing in Miami, he's been a great addition to the Padres. He can run, hit for a little power.
Seth Smith: I don't know much about him, but he seems to be good.
Josh Willingham: He has consistent power, but not that great of an average or RBI total.
I would watch some of the players a little longer before making your decision. If you have to pick one of them right now though, I'd choose either Bourjos or Boesch. If Joyce keeps up what he's doing, I'd pick him. (But that may be a little biased choice lol)

Peter Bourjos - Not MLB ready as far as hitting goes, really fast, plays great D.
Matt Joyce - Solid defender, not a ton of speed, has above average pop.
Michael Brantley - Nice prospect, hits for average, not a whole lot of pop, will steal a handful of bases
David Murphy - Some speed, solid D, some pop.
Brennan Boesch - Handful of HRs, hit's for an above average, average. single digit SB's.
Jerry Sands - Great in the minors, needs more ML service time.
Cameron Maybin - Nothing more than an smidge over above average player. Hit's for a .250ish average, just needs more playing time, should develop into a nice player.
Seth Smith - Has 20 HR pop, can hit for a decent average, can hit for .290ish, should be a great everyday player.
Josh Willingham - Capable of 20-25 HR, hit for around .260-.270 AVG, a bit of speed.
Best power: Willingham
Best contact: David Murphy
Speed: Peter Boujos
Overall: David Murphy in my opinion.

-Boujos is only really good on defense, thats useless for fantasy
-joyce*
-brantley, he plays for the indians right. if the indians play well the whole year, he can maybe keep his numbers up. the questions is do you have faith in the indians
-Murphy doesnt play often enough. he wud be good for the nights hes in, but it will be frustrating when he constantly sits out
-Brennan Boesch. def one of the best on your list. i picked him up and hes been doing good
-cameron maybin, im not sure, i dnt see him play
-smith, personally, i don think he will stay hot
-josh has a low average, i dont trust him
Boesch is the best. get him

I'm a die hard Indians fan, so this may seem to everyone that this is a little bias, but, i think Brantley is the best one of all those guys. he has speed, plays for one of the best teams in the MLB (as of right now) but he is also quick enough to get a fair amount of steals and hes a great batter, hes batting about .313, hes very young with a **** load of potential, hes going to have a good year.

I would narrow it down
Boesch
Maybin
Smith
Willingham
Brantley
I think they're all decent. Those guys will likely still be on the waiver wire when you look later on.
