Keep 7 players, any mix of bats or arms, current discussion on the table of whether we're keeping 8 this year, so just for sh*ts and giggles, please list 7 and an (8th).

My "4" solid keepers - Pujols, Peavy, Holliday and Kinsler. I'm leaning towards - Nolasco, Baker and Doumit as the other 7 and Nady as the 8th. Are Werth, Church, Galarraga or Tejada worth keeping? Last year I didn't decide to keep Torii til the last minute and was haooy, will he do it again? Should I take a fly with the last keep with a closer like Ziegler or Perez or Broxton? Should I just keep 7 bats and Peavy?
I have the 4th overall draft pick.

I guess I'm a bit of an aristocrat who doesn't believe in the middle class.
Really, I was a distant 5th place in my division by August so, what I did last year was a couple of trades where in the end I gave up Beckett (had to move him to get Holliday), Ichiro(had him for 5 yrs, have other guys for steals) and Victorino(I have Werth, for what its worth) and got Holliday, Baker and 3 early draft picks for this year in return.
