Help me pick my three keepers (interesting twist)

Postby JasonVT1 » Sun Feb 08, 2009 9:29 pm

We get to pick three keepers that were drafted after the fourth round, so most of the best players get re-drafted year-to-year. I can't decide whether it's better to try to get ahead of the others with safe picks like Young, or to take a gamble on an upside player like Upton.

It's a H2H league that starts C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, 2B/SS, 1B/3B, OF (5), UTIL, P (2), SP (6), RP (4).

The categories are
AVG, HR, OBP, R, RBI, SB

IP, WHIP, ERA, K, W, SV

My options are:
Geovany Soto, ChC C
Michael Young, Tex SS
Ryan Zimmerman, Was
Brad Hawpe, Col OF
Justin Upton, Ari OF
Carlos Pena, TB 1B
John Lackey, LAA SP
Matt Garza, TB SP
Max Scherzer, Ari SP

I'll be happy to help anyone who helps me as well!

Soto, Garza, Zimmerman.

Soto is one of the elite C's this draft.
Garza looked too good in the postseason to not want to keep him this year.
Zimmerman, I don't like the Nats, but someone has to hit HR's. :-? And 3B is thin this year.

Thanks everyone for helping out! It's a tough choice for sure. I'm leaning towards Soto and Zimmerman with two of my picks (but not set in stone)...

I'd really like to keep Upton because of his potential, but I'm not sure he breaks out until next year. I think Lackey or Garza would also be good choices.
