Who to Keep?

Postby kong_jr. » Thu Feb 12, 2009 4:49 pm

Standard 5x5 Keeper, 10 teams, keep 9:

C Molina
C/OFDoumit
1B Delgado
1B/OF Marcus Thames
2B Brandon Phillips
1B/3B Garrett Atkins
3B/OF Chase Headley
3B Chipper
3B Crede
SS Han Ram
OF Jay Bruce
OF Pat Burrell
OF Byrd
OF Lewis
OF David Murphy

Pitching:
SP Lincecum
SP Haren
SP Harang
SP Joe Saunders
SP Armando Galarraga
SP AJ Burnett
SP/RP GUthrie
RP Soria
RP Lyon
RP Putz
RP Valverde

I've got 6/9 keepers I think

Lincecum, Haren, Soria, Valverde, Burnett, Han Ram, Phillips

I've got a solid pitching staff, unless I should be keeping Harang instead. Or would Keeping Harang for potential trade value later be a good idea (since I am somewhat weak in the bat). But I'm not sure for my infield:

Atkins, Chipper, Bruce, Burrell (power), Delgado (great rebound).

Any help is appreciated. I'll help where I can too. Thanks

I agree with this list. I don't think Valverde is worth keeping over Atkins when you are already keeping one RP in Soria. Harrang is being drafted in the upper teen rounds and isn't worth keeping and you won't be able to get any value for him in trades.

I really like Atkins and his positional elgibility. I just like Delgado's power advantage over Atkins and I'm also concerned with the lack of lineup protection that Atkins has...
