Highest Upside....Hamels, Lincecum or Dice K.

[Montana]

With the closing months of the season upon us........I'm interested to hear how people feel about these three studs when considering their keepers for next season.

[A Fleshner Fantasy]

I think Lincecum has the biggest upside, however he is the biggest risk. He is followed closely by Hamels, and then way later comes Dice-K.

Pure ceiling...
1. Linc
2a. Dice-K
2b. Hamels

For next year...
1a. Dice-K
1b. Hamels
1c. Linc


I think they are all 3 very close, if you want to go by ceiling though its definately Linc!

I agree, Lince has the most potential followed by Hamels, then DiceK. However, they are in exact reverse order in terms of opportunity for next year as Lincecum will be on a horrible team.

I am not sold that Hamels will stay healthy. That was the biggest issue before the season and as he racks up more inning he is more likely to be hurt. So I think I would go with Dice K, Hamels and then Linc.

I have both Lincecum and Dice K.........would any of you suggest keeping Lincecum over Dice K, simply due to his high value going forward........even if you think Dice K will be a better value next year?

Yes.

I am just curious, why do you guys think Lincecum is so risky? He's been doing pretty well and has the potential to get even better.

How not? Why would he let some guy take his pitcher that has a potential to be the a top 5 pitcher within the next 4 years? Where as, I'm sorry, but I don't see Dice K being top 5 ever.
