Steve Pearse and Blake Dewitt for Edwin E. and Moskos

[soxdiggernduke33]

Keeper league... contracts are all the same... thoughts?

On the surface i'd say the Edwin side is better. I guess maybe if you start a ton of MI's and it's like a 20 team league that would lend a little more value to Dewitt. Even then though, I think i'd still prefer the Edwin side.

[soxdiggernduke33]

Its a 30 team league. Dewitt will start somewhere. And we start C, 2MI, 2CI, 3OF, DH

and I am more concerned about losing Pearse than Dewitt

[AussieDodger]

Definitely Pearce + DeWitt they're both starting at this stage.

Moskos = junk/waste of roster space.

[eclecticj]

Wow, in a 30 team league and that many starting positions you probably have to go with the depth of pearce and dewitt. I'm guessing there's lots of completely unproductive roster spots on dudes teams?

[soxdiggernduke33]

yes, a lot of people are searching for FAs to fill spots and contracts are sure to go higher than people want. I have a lot of great MILB guys and min contract guys. (I am the Marlins, I have no payroll haha)

Since its real player numbers and starting spots I try to just compare my team to a real one. Here it is...

So I have most of my roster filled. I am one of the lucky ones. I can try to get someone (I am thinking my big weakness is OF insurance) from free agency.

I also want to package 3-4 guys to one team for a big name so they can field a team and I can improve.
