I like the possibility of Heath Bell too, but I'm hearing there are a ton of teams in that mix so the price will be high.

Swisher’s.

I know the metrics show he has great range, but I've been trying to see it "with my own eyes." On Wednesday, against Tampa, he ran down a ball in foul territory and one in the gap that many RFs wouldn't have gotten to. While Swisher will make an ugly play now and again, his range more than makes up for it. Swisher’s range is underrated by Yankee fans.

I'd still give him the edge over Shelley though. Watching Swisher track a fly ball is like watching a cat chase a laser pointer. I’d still give him the edge over Shelley though.
