4 Solid Keepers, need 3, maybe 4... (WHIR)

Postby IronBird » Sun Feb 08, 2009 10:45 pm

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).

12 keep H2H, 13 category: Avg, HR, R, RBI, OPS, BB, Stl; W, S, Inn, K, ERA, WHIP.

Start at least 6 SP, 9 pitchers total and 1 - C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, LF, CF, RF, 2 - Utl

Doumit C
Pujols 1B
Kinsler 2B
Tejada SS
Beltre 3B
Holliday OF
Hunter OF
Nady OF
Church OF
Werth OF
Tatis OF
Schumaker OF

Peavy SD
Baker Min
Nolasco Fla
Galarraga Det
Campillo Atl
Ziegler Oak
Broxton LA
C.Perez Stl
Rauch Ari
G.Gonzales Oak
Miner Det

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.

Baker, Nolasco, and Broxton but wow, that's a huge dropoff from the top 4. Did you make a bunch of trades to consolidate your guys or what?

I guess I'm a bit of an aristocrat who doesn't believe in the middle class. :-D

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.

Your 4 plus,

Werth
Baker
Nolasco
Broxton

Nady was a bit lucky with hit rate % and LD %. I just can't see him over Werth.
