Who to take at 8 in a different sytle of keeper league??

Postby GoldenHawk » Fri Feb 06, 2009 6:32 pm

Hey Guys,

I adopted a keeper team in a 12 person league (8x8 roto with Ks, Walks, Total bases, Losses, CGs, Holds as the extra 3 categories in hitting and pitching) where we have 8 keeper spots each year and keepers can only be kept for four years max.

Keepers in their 4th year cost two keepers spots. Therefore if I am to keep markakis this year (and he will have to be dropped after the year) he will cost me two spots and I can only keep 7 guys. As a result, I have a trade where I can get Pena and Cano for a late pick next year and then would drop Markakis in order to keep both of them.

Should I make the deal for Pena and Cano? If i do my team is as below:

I have the 3rd and 10th overall picks. I will obviously take one of wright, arod, pujols and mcab, however what route should I go with the 10th pick? is it worth it trading for pena when i could keep markakis and take one of the top 1Bs at 10 (ie Howard or Berkman)?

The guys available to be drafted are:

Wright, Pujols, Arod, Mcab, Sizemore, Rollins, Beltran, Teix, Santana, Berkman, Howard, Johan, Peavy, Carlos Lee, Ichiro, Vlad, Halladay, Webb, Vmart etc.

My team:
1B: Pena
2B: Cano
3B:
SS:
OF:
OF:Abreu
OF:Ludwick
Util Ortiz (someone else keeping him for me)

SP- Lincecum
SP- Haren
SP- Ervin Santana
CL- BJ Ryan


Leave a link and I can help back. thanks guys

Markakis is worth more than Pena and Cano. Frankly, I would rather have Nick over those two even if it cost me a roster spot. Don't do the deal. You can find a better deal elsewhere. Remember, it may cost you 2 keeper spots, but it isn't going to cost them two keeper spots.

Please return the favor:
