Keeper League that counts K/Walk/Hits

Matt Kemp
Adam Dunn
Alphonso Soriano
Magglio Ordonez

I would drop Dunn. You take a hit in walks, but you gain so much ground in the strike out category. Soriano and Kemp are the absolutes in my book, and Ordonez gets a pass by me for at least another year.

Please return the favor:

Yeah, I don't mind Ordonez.

Dunn walks more, but he also Ks a lot more. Ordonez has the edge in hits though. I think I'd go with Ordonez, but it's close.

Soriano and Kemp are no-brainers.

I would drop Ordonez. I think his production will start slipping more rapidly now that he is 35. Dunn will be 29 and has produced 5 straight 40 HR seasons. Pared with Soriano and Kemp, this gives you an OF that is able to produce across the board.

I would probably drop Ordonez because of his age. I would not get all hyped up about Kemp unless you think he is going to break out this year. He stole 35 bases, but he struck out 150 times last season and his HR RBI and BB are subpar for an elite fantasy player

I say drop Dunn. He is the least favorable in 2 of the 3 cats that you mentioned.

It's definately between Dunn and Mags. I play in a BB/K league and I love Dunn because he comes at great value. That being said, when you add hits and can get 100+ RBI from somebody who K's less than 80 times in far more ABs you easily take the hit in walks and HRs and keep Mags. Keep in mind that Dunn probably isn't headed for a better home park than the GAB (or the NL central for that matter) so 40 HR isn't a lock for him this season IMO.

Fairly easy for me. Dunn will have the most K's, worst avg and the least amount of hits in this group, although he will probably have the most BB and HR's.
