Who else to keep, Kinsler and ??

Postby spamnon » Mon Feb 02, 2009 1:31 am

This is for a 3 player (1 hitter/1 pitcher/1 either or) draft value keeper league where you keep a guy for two years based on the original round he was drafted in. For example, I plan on keeping Ian Kinsler, so I will lose my 17th round pick for 2009, because that's where I drafted him two years ago. Who should be my second hitting keeper?

10 Person Roto League
6x6 (add OBP for batters, K : BB for pitchers)

Nelson Cruz (of) - 23rd round (30/100 potential)
Chris Davis (1b/3b) - 23rd round (30/100 potential)
Ryan Doumit (c/of) - 23rd round (.300 catcher with good pop)
Prince Fielder (1b) - 10th round (could perform like a 2nd rounder)
Mike Jacobs (1b) - 23rd round (30/100 potential)
Ian Kinsler (2b) - 17th round (5 cat stud - will keep him)
Cameron Maybin (of) - 23rd round (uber prospect)
Lastings Milledge (of) - 23rd round (20/20 potential)
Joey Votto (of) - 16th round (30/100 potential)
Ian Stewart (2b/3b) - 23rd round (20/80 potential)

I know Fielder may be the highest ranked player, but he is also the most costly. I am thinking to accompany Kinsler with either Cruz, Davis, or Votto. I think Votto is the safest choice because he was very consistent last year as a rookie, but I feel like the other guys have more potential, especially Davis. Or should I be looking at a different guy on the list? Thoughts?

i think it's pretty much a toss-up between davis and fielder. since you only keep two hitters and it's only for 2 years, i'd go with fielder as i feel he's a safer option that still has a ton of upside. he may be more expensive but under the circumstances i think he's the best option of value and talent available.

Fielder, tenth round is still a bargain.
He once hit a ball between my legs so hard that my center-fielder caught it on the fly backing up against the wall.

If Satch (Paige) and I were pitching on the same team, we would clinch the pennant by July fourth and go fishing until World Series time.

Add a fifth vote for Fielder - he's a better 10th round pick than what you'll likely be able to find in the draft.

Fielder as well. Kinsler/Fielder is a nice core int he lat rounds. Though, if you decided to go Davis in the 23rd, couldn't laugh at that. Great option value down there
