I would also sell high on Cliff Lee right after the draft. I am not confident at all in his ability to come close to last year's numbers, but someone in your league should give good value for him as long as you deal him before the season gets underway.

For me I would keep:

Guerrero -- even in a year when his rbi were down he still hit 27 homeruns and batted over .300
Reyes -- he is a lock for 50 stolen bases and more than 100 runs. he is second best ss in the game
Sizemore -- i bet be goes 30/30 again
Utley -- even with hip injury, he is only 30 and should be ready by opening day

Beckett -- I would take him over the other starters. I know everyone is going to all over me for passing on Cliff Lee but I just think the guy had his Brady Anderson year last year. I mean he was bad for a year, good for a year, horrible for two years, along with being hurt, and amazing last year. I would just pass on him.

Ryan -- hey he's the closer and you have to keep one relief pitcher.

The last space I would take either Molina -- I know people laugh but look at his numbers that last two years. He had more rbi than any catch last year and depending on your league having a good catcher is very valuable -- or if you would like another pitcher I would take RIcky Nolasco. I know he just did it once, but he got better as the year went on and he is only 26.

Rookie -- I would take Max Scherzer. he should be in the rotation and could be a very good fantasy sleeper.
