Upton has lost his 2b elgibility, or has he (in your league?)

That can help me make my best decision. If you can get away with some kind of loose rule regarding his 2b elgibility that would go a long way....

Ask your commish if you have too, then get back to me.

No 2B eligibility for Upton. We do start 2 UTL guys though, so keeping 3 outfielders wouldn't really be a big deal.

[quote="Field"]11 Team Keeper, Roto, 6x6 (QS, OPS)

Keep 5 + 1 free agent/late draft pick (in bold)

Here is my roster at the end of the season:

C Chris Iannetta (Col - C)
1B Joey Votto (Cin - 1B,OF)
2B B.J. Upton (TB - 2B,OF) ;-D
3B Ryan Zimmerman (Was - 3B)
SS Hanley Ramírez (Fla - SS) ;-D
OF Nate McLouth (Pit - OF)
OF Justin Upton (Ari - OF)
OF Josh Hamilton (Tex - OF) ;-D
Util Prince Fielder (Mil - 1B) ;-D
Util Vladimir Guerrero (LAA - OF)
SP Jake Peavy (SD - SP)
SP James Shields (TB - SP)
RP Kerry Wood (ChC - RP)
RP Chris Pérez (StL - RP)
P CC Sabathia (Mil - SP)
P Tim Lincecum (SF - SP) ;-D
P Kevin Gregg (ChC - RP)

BN Corey Hart (Mil - OF)
BN Chris Davis (Tex - 1B,3B) ;-D
BN Carlos Quentin (CWS - OF)
BN Mike González (Atl - RP)
BN Francisco Liriano (Min - SP)
BN Matt Cain (SF - SP)


Which set of 5 +1 would you keep? I'll probably end up keeping Quentin as my +1 but I hate to throw back Justin Upton. I'll probably have to overpay to have him rostered next year if I decide to let him back in the player pool. Hanley is my only absolute lock keeper along with Lincecum and Hamilton. If I had to decide today I'd probably go with in order:

Hanley
Hamilton
Lincecum
Peavy
BJ Upton
+Quentin

I really don't want to throw back Fielder, Vlad, CC, and Justin Upton. Should I consider keeping all 3 pitchers? I don't really think there is anyway I would do that but I'm open to hearing some opinions. Thoughts?[/quote

See above. I'd throw Peavy back. Padres will be horrible this year, so you know the W total for Peavy will be bad. I'm not sure Peavy is all that motivated this year. He know he's on the trade block, unless he's dealt I might stay away. Keep Fielder. As the plus one I like Davis. 3b elgible and middle of the order hitter in Texas lineup.

That's the best set, though I hate to see Justin Upton go. Try to get him back in the first round of the draft, because you'll keep him next year if Hamilton or Quentin don't repeat their monster season.
