I will go in order. Howard is great but he has a lot of Ball Park homers that will be outs in Fenway. However you do need power on the road, and he has some natural homers. I usually get Tex or Derick Lee for a singles park, but Howard could work. Matsui is great. He has a good glove, and he will steal a ton of bases, but he will also get hurt some, have a decent backup, like Bloomquest, if you can. Rolen is another big injury risk. Reyes is perfect for your stadium, and he is a good bargain. Burrell, has a lot of those Ball park homers that will fall short in Fenway, and his glove is below average. However he has a good on base percentage. Sizemore will perform in any park. His batting average may be lower than expected but he will walk a lot. Also he can NOT get hurt. So you do not need a backup CF. Francouer can not get hurt either. His defense is great, but he will not hit many homers at Fenway. If you keep him bat him near the bottom, or even 9th. Kendell I have not used, and I am not familiar with him. If I were you I would get a better third baseman, Rolen will be hurt a lot. Also Francouer, and Burrell are question marks for your stadium. Maybe look for guys with high batting averages, and some stolen bases at the corner outfield positions. But if there is no one available I guess those guys will do. Just get a better third baseman, or a great backup like Gomez. Good luck, if you have any more questions feel free to fire away. There may be others with more experience who may disagree with me, but I have been very successful with this season's cards. A lot depends on luck!
