 I'd take a flyer on Ben Revere also. 

agreed; what's his market looking like?  Someone just needs to teach him how to take a walk.  Is he still a 30 SB threat?

I think you mostly have to have some power to get walked in the big leagues.  And you can't steal first base.

Where is Revere supposed to play?  He has a very weak arm and does not belong in right field.

I've liked Wellington Castillo for awhle. He's at the top of my list. I suspect the Orioles (Buck) however will wait for Weiters market to dry up and bring him back. Ruby De la Rosa is up there to. I'd take a flyer on Ben Revere also. 

I agree on Castillo. 2.4 WAR last season. .744 career OPS. Seems like a cheap power bat at a position of need.

Brandon Belt, Ben Zobrist, Dexter Fowler, Joe Mauer, Jon Villar, Brett Gardner, Cesar Hernandez, DJ LeMahieu, Nick Markakis, Alex Gordon, Kole Calhoun, Chase Headley, Odubel Herrera, Joe Panik... all sluggers, all in the top 50 in walk rate.

You mostly have to be able to tell a ball from a strike, that's Revere's problem.

More than half of your list has power.

Good thing we don't have a better option in LF either then.

The median number of home runs hit by qualified major league hitters last year was 22. All of those guys hit less than 20.
