a 3 in Cf and at 2b?

I'd much prefer to see Crisp or Figgins at DH, and a cheap def CF (Kotsay, Taverez). Crisp's dp's arent ideal for the 2 hole, in fact with his clutch I fancy him a good #5 hitter. Shelton can move up vs righties, especially over Polanco.

Thanks, geekor. I'm sure I'm missing something in your advice (considering you've whipped up on me in more than one league). The viable/available 2B are Ellis, Iguchi and NPerez. I don't see any of them as values. In CF, I can get Taguchi, Beltran or Wilkerson. Iguchi might fit Fenway. You must be looking at a different Crisp card than I am. Crisp only has 9 DP chances on each side--do you see that as a lot? Even a speed demon like Crawford has more than 9. And Crisp's clutch is -7. I wouldn't put a -7 in the 5 spot--would you? (The other reason I have Crisp in the two spot: 35 hit chances, 40 OBP, 50.9 total bases, and speed.) Polanco, on the other hand, has +7 clutch, which is why I slotted him in the 5 spot. That's nearly 40 hit chances vs. righties in a clutch situation. And that's vs. his weaker side (RHP); vs. LHP, we're talking 38 + 7 = 45 hit chances in a clutch situation.
