I can't find any fault in your picks. How far do you have to lean before you fall over. ;-)

Your picks, and then Markakis over Bruce. Bruce could very well hit 30 HR next season, he could also struggle as pitchers have more scouting tape on him. Markakis is a proven commodity, and still has some upside left.

1. Rollins
2. Phillipsa
3. Longoria
4. Kemp
5. Bruce

With only 5 keepers I'd go all hitters. Phillips, Longoria, and Rollins are sure-things considering their positions coupled with their production & youth. As an O's fan I'd like to say Markakis, but all those BB aren't going to do much good in this league. Bruce and Kemp will hit for high average because they are hit machines, not because of their discipline (which is the case with Markakis). I also think Bruce and Kemp have more power upside than Markakis.
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.
