another keeper question

Postby kentx12 » Thu Oct 30, 2008 4:43 am

12 team H2H with Holds and Total bases added. We keep 8.

My top 6 are

Arod
M. Cabrera
Lincecum
C. Sabathia
Ca. Lee
B. Phillips


I get to choose 2 more, who are they?
G. Atkins
J. Lackey
A. Dunn
B. Upton

B. Lidge

thanks

There will come a day when Barry Bonds leaves baseball, and everything about the game will be the better for it.

Upton....easily
The last choice is tough....I'd probably go with Lackey.

Upton and Dunn....not even close.

Don't really get why everyone hates on Dunn.....the rest of your keeps are pretty solid average hitters, so it's not like his average is going to hurt you, and he's an automatic 40 HRs every year. Wherever he signs he will likely get more RBI opps than he did in Cincinnati. He's an easy choice over Atkins and Lackey.

I agree with Aquaman
He once hit a ball between my legs so hard that my center-fielder caught it on the fly backing up against the wall.

If Satch (Paige) and I were pitching on the same team, we would clinch the pennant by July fourth and go fishing until World Series time.

I'd actually keep Upton and Lackey. That would give you speed and a quality arm to add to your other six.

Upton is the easy choice here...

The next comes down to Lackey and Dunn. I think this might hinge on where Dunn signs, but as of now I would take Lackey.

Besides Upton, I would go with Dunn. I do think Lackey will be one of the better SP next year, but you're already keeping Lincecum + Sabathia.

Could you still make trades?

Upton is easily a nobrainer as well. My last choice would be Dunn and his 40 homers.
