Whos in left??

Well all the starters seem to be set except left field and a number 5 starter. But we know it will be Joba or Hughes and the other on will either play left or go to the bullpen. I mean just go to the bullpen. So who plays left? There are big names available such as Jason bay, Matt Holliday and Johnny Damon. Then the more likely option Mark Derosa and Jermaine Dye. Who do I want to play left? I want a less known name. I think we should give a guy a chance to make a name for himself. Right now the 2 options on the roster are Brett Gardner and Jamie Hoffman. i would love to see Hoffman get the chance. Basically what I want is a position players name on the Rookie of the year ballot. His minor league numbers don't really jump out at me though .290 10 homers and 64 RBIs last season and at age 25 I do not think he will provide much pop. There really is not any minor league outfielders in our system who I think provide much pop at the big league level right now but perhaps we could pull off a deal for a blocked prospect and insert him into our lineup and just go with it. If he does not work out we have pieces to trade for a left fielder at the deadline.
