Stolen bases are really devalued with that format so Crawford is not a sure fire keeper. Go with Quentin over him.

1. Kinsler
2. Prince
3. Quentin

Crawford COULD be better than Quentin or Prince, but how long have we been hearing that for? Always projected to take the next step, but never does. Make him show us some improvement before you consider him over two more sure-fire offensive weapons.

Ok so Kinsler is a clear cut keeper then.. my thing with crawford is I traded for him last season and traded away beltran and halladay for crawford and liriano and jeter.. I actually got kinsler when I missed the playoffs and was just picking up players just for the heck of it.. I picked up players like kinsler and matsui and chris young (of) so people couldnt get any use of them in the playoffs. So Kinsler is a real steal for me then.. I just wish prince would eat a hot dog or a hamburger so he could go back to hitting homers left and right.. Now while this was a bad year crawford wise.. he was hurt and that was a big reason why he didnt steal a ton of bases and hit .300 as he has the last 3 years. I believe in Carl but am open to letting him go granted I have the #3 pick in the draft so I could probably draft him there again and I know he wouldn't make it back to me in the next round. Quentin is an animal and had he not got hurt he could have got mvp..

I'd definitely keep Kinsler, Quentin, Prince in that order, with Crawford being the odd man out. I love Quentin with K's being a category since he rarely ever strikes out, especially for a slugger. Between Quentin and Prince you've got some great building blocks for the power cats like 2B, HR's rbi's and both hit for a solid average unlike some other sluggers. If you opt to toss Crawford back a guy like Shane Victorino should go a long way in replacing the lost SB's. Good luck... if you wouldn't mind helping with mine, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I'm also on the Fielder/Kinsler/Quentin boat for many of the same reasons.
