Norichika Aoki - A Value OF.

Youkilis, went to the evil empire to cover for A-Rod, he's not a back up guy, he's a fine 3rd baseman, if your fantasy league has OBP or BB he's a steal at $4. Of course Will Middlebrooks will be more popular with his youth, but it's his first full year, both will have more value than their average draft pick value.

As for Aoki he's old enough & capitalized on an injury or two, keep an eye on him & Corey Hart at milwaukee.
