I agree with the list you have. Throwing Davis back hurts, but you are swamped at 1B and 3B and a roster spot for him would be a waste (unless you have a CI roster slot).

With those scoring categories, it definately favors power hitting, which you obviously have. With Reyes, you have a strong foundation in SB, so all in all, I think you're starting with a great roster!

Yes,the scroing also favors high K pitchers, but those are easily found in the middle to late rounds in the draft (even off the wire if you're quick). Webb as your ace pitcher... yeah that's fine.

Thanks for all the help guys. Yes I agree with you people that say its tough to throw back Davis, but he has to with the other guys I have. I personally think my power is good enough where I can afford to. I also think that if I had an extra spot it would be Felix I would keep not Davis, so I would have another good, young SP. So with that said baring any trade(s) my 8 keepers will be:

Miguel Cabrera
Adrian Gonzalez
Evan Longoria
Nick Markakis
Carlos Quentin
Manny Ramirez
Jose Reyes
Brandon Webb

With Felix Hernandez and Chris Davis just missing the cut.

Thanks again for all the help guys. ;-D I just wanted to let those of you who helped me know that I was able to upgrade threw trades. I landed Kinsler so now I have a good, young core of players at every position. My keepers are now:

Miguel Cabrera
Ian Kinsler
Evan Longoria
Jose Reyes
Adrian Gonzalez
Nick Markakis
Carlos Quentin
Brandon Webb

I've gotta agree with just about everyone, that you have the right keepers at this point.
