This is correct unless "effort" and "intangibles" are included in the five categories you use. If this is the case, bump Pedroia up right behind Sizemore.

In a 12 team league, I would keep those batters and the two stud pitchers. Keeping the five tool hitters and letting go of the ones you can replace. Can't replace those hitters.

Without trading up, who's your top 5. If you could rank all 10 players that would be great then I can start upgrading my keepers. Reyes and Sizemore are locks but after seeing some mock drafts the others have a wide range of where they are being picked in drafts like Pedroia for example.

C Soto
2B Pedroia
SS J. Reyes
3B A. Ramirez
OF Sizemore, Soriano, Quentin, Ordonez
P Webb, Peavy

Thanks in advance.

Post a link for one of your questions and I'll try and comment.


Assuming you can keep them forever, I'd rank them in the following order:

(1) Reyes
(2) Sizemore
(3) Webb
(4) Peavy
(5) Quentin
(6) Pedroia
(7) Soto
(8) Soriano
(9) A. Ramirez
(10) Ordonez

I think that in many leagues, stud pitchers have become underrated. Also, in a league where you can keep players forever, I tend to weight youth fairly heavily; e.g., Geovany Soto is 7 (!) years younger than Soriano. That said, you've got at least 8 (and arguably 10) players that should be kept in this format. As others have said, you should be able to pull off some nice 2 for 1's.
