I won't be rushing either to the majors, as my OF depth is good, but my starting RF will be leaving as a free agent this year, and my LF and CF are locked into those positions by their defensive skill sets. Whoever I pick up is probably the RF of the future.
Please give me your preference and reasoning. Then I can get that trophy!

I would go with Lott.
1. He is Durable.
2. He is a line drive hitter. Might just be me but seem to get better results out of them.
3. Seems to have a better personality class. Graves High greed, low leader and loyalty could lead to a selfish or disruptive rating.
4. Lott has the better arm.
5. Lott is not a pull hitter for ground balls.
6. Can bunt if necessary
7. Lott is putting up better WAR across his career. Had he gotten more playing time in his first year of Rookie ball he would be closer to being maxed out on his abilities.
