Pick 3 keepers- which way to go?

Postby kmoneybags » Wed Nov 26, 2008 6:38 pm

15 teams. standard 5x5 roto. 5 keepers. keepers can be kept for as long as I want.

I have Sizemore and Crawford as 2 keepers- but after that it gets a bit unclear

Pick 3 from this group

V-Mart
Stephen Drew
Alex Gordon
Vernon Wells
Matt Cain

I'm leaning toward Cain, Gordon, and Drew since they can be kept for a long time. I've been a fan of Drew from the start and think he'll be a nice guy to have going forward in a league this deep and competitive. I'm thinking that one day Gordon will realize his potential and this would warrant keeping him now. What do you guys think?

I think you're right. Cain and Drew are definites. I like Gordon to improve this year and like his upside, so I'd take him over VMart and Wells.

Yeah, it's a tough call between Gordon and VMart but the upside and replacement value arguments both tilt towards Gordon.

Since you can keep these guys unlimited I'd also keep the 3 you are thinking. If it was next season only I'd keep VMart, but here's to another year of hoping Gordon becomes George Brett.
