Choose 4 Keepers

Postby adq64535 » Fri Jan 30, 2009 9:13 am

I'm in a 12 team keeper league. Won last year so I have the last pick in the 5th round (we keep 4 players). Here are my potential keepers:

Soto
Berkman
Morneau
Sizemore
Braun
Granderson

Felix
Kazmir
Lowe
Gallardo
Soria


I can: 1. Keep 4 players (if so which?)
2. Keep 3 and get an extra pick before the 5th round strats (It would be the 2nd pick in the draft, since someone else is keeping 3)
3. Try to trade for another better SP who I would keep


WHat should I do? Also keep in mind that in my league people like SP's so I've seen most of their keeprs and estimate that between the other 11 teams there will be about 17-18 SP's kept. Thanks!

Now with your 4th option you can go either...........
1. Granderson if you are confident with your ability to select late-ish SP.
2. Gallardo if you want to establish your pitching with a true ace. However you might be able to draft him later.
3. Take the 2nd overall pick (whoever you think that'll be - obviously they have to be better then Grandy).

I'm a fairly confident guy - I'd go Grandy, but it's up to you ;-D ;-D ;-D ;-D

I'd keep Berkman, Sizemore, and Braun. Then i'd take my chances and see what was left with my draft pick. If that many pitchers are being kept there's bound to be a better option available than Granderson.. and even if there isn't chances are good you can just draft him back with your pick. I'd definitely roll the dice on getting someone great with that pick.

these 4 are pretty clear cut above the rest imo. if for some reason a top 30 player would be available to you with the 2nd pick should u not keep a 4th player, i would consider not keeping morneau to get that pick.

And you guys all think I'll be able to draft a good enough rotation with the last pick in the draft, 17-18 pitchers being kept, and keeping 4 hitters?
