So I won my 10-team league, 3rd year in a row....but now my keeper choices are a little harder...
Pick 4: B. McCann Pujols BJ Upton Rollins Longoria Holliday Ludwick Quentin P. Fielder Cliff Lee Beckett Liriano
My keepers from last year were Pujols, Rollins, Fielder, Holliday. I'm leaning toward those same 4 guys, but should I keep Upton this year for 2B eligibility? I have a feeling he's going to go off next year....but who to drop?
upton won't have 2B eligibility anymore, he didn't play any games there last season
as for your keepers, pujols and holliday are locks imo... i would choose the other two from rollins, fielder and longoria. probably rollins and longoria since you already have pujols at 1B. its pretty close though and i wouldnt really fault you whatever way u went.
The next 3 will come from Rollins, Holliday, Upton, Fielder, Longoria.
Rollins - SS depth is weak this year, 15/30 from such a shallow position is great Holliday - trade is likely to dilute stats, will be a good hitter, but no longer top 10 Upton - his power fell, and no longer 2B, but has all the upside in the world Longoria - A great rookie season that I expect him to build off Fielder - power was down, but still going to be only 25 next year
Out of that group I would take Longoria, Fielder and Upton.
Pujols Rollins Longoria Holliday I wouldn't pick Fielder, since you have a 1B with Pujols & in a 10 team league there should be plenty of mashers left to fill the loss of Fielder.
Pujols - Don't need a reason Rollins - Still a top 3 SS and the dropoff is pretty steep after Rollins. He won't produce 1st round numbers, but still an elite SS. Longoria - Sky is the limit here Holliday - Won't produce 1st round numbers, but still one of the best OF.
I'd say Pujols, Holliday, and Longoria are locks. You can make a good case for either Upton, Rollins, or Fielder, but given how scarce SS will be, I'd keep Rollins.
B. McCann Pujols BJ Upton Rollins SS very shallow, so keep Longoria - I might keep him because his trade value is through the roof. Holliday Ludwick Quentin - I avoid players who have had wrist injuries. Too much risk. P. Fielder - Option if you did not choose Longoria Cliff Lee Beckett Liriano
