6x6 Keepers - J Upton/J Bruce/Others

[mjhdrew]

Standard 6x6 - 20 teams.

Each of the following will cost the same 8th round pick. Picking two will cost a 7th and an 8th. In which order would you pick the following.

Jay Bruce - CIN - OF
Justin Upton - ARZ - OF
Votto - CIN - 1B
Ethier - LA - OF

Also, would you take Howie Kendrick as a 6th rounder in the same 20 team league.

Many thanks and WHIR as ever.

I would go Bruce, Votto, Uptonl and Eithier.

I would burn both 7th and 8th round picks on Bruce and Votto.

Votto, Bruce, Upton, Ethier.

I had Votto and Bruce on my team last year and not being able to keep either of them is killing me. I love Votto but luckily 1B is pretty deep this year, which could be a reason to slide him down the list a bit but at the 8th round I think he's a great value, especially with 20 teams. Kendrick in the 6th, however, I'm not sure... Great hitter but injury prone. IF he stays healthy he could be great, but of course there are always if's in fantasy and draft projections. I'd look to more of an expert for that, i.e. not me

Thanks guys, assistance much appreciated (and needed!).

If at all possible, keep each of Bruce, Upton, and Votto. If you can't, then I guess Votto has to hit the road. I would not let the potential of Bruce and Upton leave your squad, especially in a 20 teamer. They are going to be huge. Maybe not this year, but 2010+...

EDIT: I'd probably toss back Kendrick as a 6th rounder considering Bruce and Upton cost a 7th and 8th. But depending on who is kept/who is available, he might be worth it. With limited info, I'd send him packing.
