We have 6 keepers, I usually wouldn't take 2 OF'ers first 2 rounds but Beltran was still there and I knew I'd regret it if I passed. Well any help is appreciated and leave a link I will help you as well.

I really like your squad. When did this draft take place? The only weakness I see is your SS spot and Crosby could still heat up and be a good player. Bay, Beltran, and DLee are 3 great keepers to have. That should make your other choices easier. Good luck.

Drafted Thursday night, I figure Lee, Beltran, Bay, Peavy, and K-rod are for sure my keepers. The 6th one is up in the air right now. Depends on some finishes and free agency ect.

[The Artful Dodger]

You have a good squad, but I don't know if I would've drafted Derrek Lee in the 4th round. A severe wrist injury can hamper a hitter's power, making him a risky keeper. I suppose it's all dependent on the talent pool that was at your disposal at that time. Your 6th keeper would be Kazmir. He merits being kept over Lidge at this point and beyond.

Please take a look (vote and reply if you haven't already):

I do like how your draft came out here and agree with Artful that you should keep Kazmir as your 6th as he is still developing his stud potential. Do you have any other relief pitchers out there besides Farnsworth at the moment?


Take a look at mine when you have a moment....Thanks.

ARam

Those are your 6 keepers going into next season, a GREAT group. You were very lucky to get ARam so late especially in a keeper. It's not a good idea to keep closers, so maybe you should trade FRod. It's so easy to be 1st in saves without drafting a top closer...just use the waiver wire. I picked up Putz and Otsuka and I'm 1st in saves after only getting Dempster in the draft. ARam started off slow but you have to remember he's an elite player...he has 40/100 potential with a .300+ AVG, and he'll inevitably turn it around in the second half.

5 homers in his last 3 games. Like I said, he has to be one of your keepers.
