Quick Keeper Advice? WHIR

Postby Carey Saders » Sun Feb 08, 2009 11:18 pm

I'm in a dynasty. I can keep 8 players. 12 team H2H.

Keeping:
Pujols
C Jones
Reyes
Vlad
Bruce
Webb
Beckett

So for my final keeper, should I keep Abreu or Zambrano or should I take a chance on the future with Maybin? I feel like Abreu and Zamabrano are on the decline.

If you're trying to win this year I like Abreu the best (assuming he signs with a team giving him the starting job). He's going to get you solid stats across the board. If you're looking to the future and willing to take a risk then Maybin's a good choice.

I think he's going to need some adjustment time, but could probably be good for some steals this year (I don't think he's going to put up power numbers right away). If you and the Marlins are patient with him this year I definitely like his upside a lot...

Abreu. This future potential stuff is overblown and you will likely be able to pick up someone just as "Promising". Take the bat that is going to produce now imo.

I would say Abreu. You have two good pitchers and Maybin won't outplay Abreu in the next two years.

By that time, there will be a number of players with higher upside than Maybin becoming available.

Keep Abreu.

Abreu is the best player and you have to take him.

Don't even think about Maybin. He's not going to be tooken in the 1st Round and you can redraft him easily if you want him.

Zambrano will get you crucial SP stats. Abreu still has a cloud of questions over his play time/place this year and I doubt that he will be utilized for his stealing ability.
