who to keep?

Postby floyd1313 » Fri Feb 06, 2009 12:08 pm

12 Team H2H league...can keep up to eight and plan to keep eight...

definite keepers:
Miguel Cabrera
Beltran
Phillips
Bay
Lincecum
Lackey

pick two of the rest:
Stephen Drew
Dunn
Dye
McLouth
Oswalt
Sheets
Volquez

My team was dominant last season and losing any of these guys hurts. Sheets is injured and can't be trusted, so he is probably gone. I love McLouth, but maybe Drew is more valuable b/c of position scarcity? Probably Oswalt over Volquez b/c of Oswalt's dominant second half...and I don't trust Volquez' high WHIP. Dye is old and all Dunn does is hit homers and mess of average.

Thoughts?

How does the league work if you do not keep all eight. I am little leery of McLouth. Sure if he put up last years numbers he is a definite keeper, but for some reason Eric Byrnes comes to mind but I stick with him. I would go with Oswalt over Lackey, but my main dilemma is selecting any of your SP over Dunn. My 8th keeper comes down to Dunn/Oswalt/Lackey and Volquez and each has issues. Dunn .240avg, Oswalt durability, Lackey's is slightly overvalued here and Volquez control and 2nd half last year. I believe Oswalt is probably the safest bet here so I will select him with slight hesitation.

Gotta vote Drew and DYE, I'd also rather have Oswalt over Lackey but understand why you dont
