5x5 - 8 team NL keeper league. 4 players per year protected.

I need to keep 4 of these 5

R. Howard
J. Bruce
J. Rollins
A. Dunn
C. Hamels

Who stays - Who goes ?

In a keeper I am probably dropping Dunn only because Bruce is super valuable in that format.

the phillies are the easy keeps. i'd probably go with bruce over dunn just for the potentials in a keeper league.

I think I'd take the gamble on Bruce. Dunn is more likely to hit 40 HR in the immediate future, but Bruce's overall ceiling makes him a tempting long-term keeper here. You already have Howard to deflate your average if he's stuck in the .240-250 range anyway.

I would throw back Dunn. Dunn isn't even a lock to stay in the NL this year either and even if he was I'd still keep Bruce over him.

Dunn goes.

I agree with the others. Don't keep Dunn.

Keep Bruce over Dunn. Already owning Howard is the clincher for me. Also, even though Dunn goes earlier in drafts, I think Bruce has more trade value if that makes any sense.
