Bedard v. Kendrick

[rmande09]

Keeper question. I am in a 12 team, 6 keeper league. My keeper's aren't terribly strong, but I have an excellent Minor League system and this is what I will be entering the 2009 draft with, not including my 6th keeper:

C Clement, Jeff **
1B Howard, Ryan *
2B Stewart, Ian **
SS Tulowitzki, Troy **
3B
OF Braun, Ryan **
OF Crawford, Carl *
OF Guerrero, Vladimir *
UTIL Kemp, Matt *
BN Bruce, Jay **

SP Hernandez, Felix *
SP Gallardo, Yovani **
RP
RP
P Chamberlain, Joba **
P Buchholz, Clay **
P

* Keeper
** Farm Keeper

That's what I am going into the draft with. I plan on drafting another catcher because I can't roll with Clement all year, and I'm not sure about the Stewart-Kendrick decision (Stewart will have 2B eligibility for the year). Kendrick has decent upside, but would he really be better than Stewart at this point? And Bedard would be a very risky pick, but he also has a pretty high amount of upside. Based off my roster, who would you keep: Kendrick or Bedard? Thanks, and I WHIR, just leave me a link. Thanks guys!

hey ryan! I'd probably hold onto bedard for the upside, both are injury risks and i think kendrick is easier to replace.

but really what you should do is deal me, your league champion, a 1 for 2 trade so you don't have to keep either.

haha alright, what kind of move do you want to make?

I'll PM you on the other board.

Based on your situation, I'd take a chance with Bedard. Kendrick doesn't give much anyway at this point other than a hollow average, and you have Stewart for 2B.

Get a room!



Keep Bedard and don't listen to GiantsFan, he's just trying to rip you off.

I would take a risk and keep Kendrick.

With your 12th pick you can afford the risk. If he stays healthy, a big if mind you, he could be in the top 10 for batting average this year, perhaps even batting champion.

As an Angel fan, I have seen this guy play. He hits everything hard on the line or ground. He is going to be the next Garrett Anderson in his prime. Hit a lot of doubles, hit for some power (20-25 Hrs per year) and hit for a very high average. My prediciton if he stays healthly this year.

.330-85 Runs - 15 Hrs (Power still developing) - 70 Rbis - 20SBs.
