Help with 5 keepers.... WHIR

Postby The Juice » Thu Feb 12, 2009 7:17 pm

I am in a 10 team, standard H2H league where we get to keep 5 players each year. My team was decimated by injuries last year so I was forced to pick up FA after FA. Here is my roster and the rounds that that I drafted them in. If I keep a FA pick up then I lose my last round pick. Any help would be greatly appreciated and if you leave a link I will help you out. Thanks guys.

Hanley Ramírez (Fla - SS) 2
Prince Fielder (Mil - 1B) 3
CC Sabathia (NYY - SP) 4
Mariano Rivera (NYY - RP) 7
Trevor Hoffman (Mil - RP) 8
Vernon Wells (Tor - OF) 9
Justin Verlander (Det - SP) 12
Brandon Phillips (Cin - 2B) 13
Chris Davis (Tex - 1B,3B) FA
Mark DeRosa (Cle - 1B,2B,3B FA
Jermaine Dye (CWS - OF) FA
Andre Ethier (LAD - OF) FA
Ryan Dempster (ChC - SP,RP) FA
Salomón Torres (Mil - RP) FA
Todd Wellemeyer (StL - SP,RP) FA
Cliff Lee (Cle - SP) FA
Brett Myers (Phi - SP,RP) FA
Randy Winn (SF - OF) FA
Andy Sonnanstine (TB - SP) FA
Brian Fuentes (LAA - RP) FA

I see your top options as...

Hanley Ramírez (Fla - SS) 2
Brandon Phillips (Cin - 2B) 13
Chris Davis (Tex - 1B,3B) FA
Cliff Lee (Cle - SP) FA
Yovani Gallardo (Mil - SP) FA
Nate McLouth (Pit - OF) FA
Corey Hart (Mil - OF) 22

I would go with Hanley, Phillips, Davis, McLouth and Hart.

I agree with the above...but Gallardo comes close in my book to taking Hart's place. However, you can draft him at a decent value I think...McLouth, HanRam, Hart, Phillips, and Davis really helps your team I think...

Can someone give me their opinion on Prince as a 3rd round keeper, CC as a 4th rounder, and Cliff Lee in the last round? Thanks.

even though value guys are extremely valued in keeper drafts...you can't not keep your best players simply because you lose your top picks. heres your 5 keepers:

hanley
fielder
CC
phillips
davis

a case could be made for gallardo instead of davis but i always give the edge to a young hitter over a pitcher.

help with mine?

I agree. Fielder in the 3rd, and CC in the 4th, are still bargains, and GREAT players. Lee i would pass on. The tough cuts are Hart and Mclouth.

Hanley
Fielder
Phillips
Davis
CC - although I'm reluctant to keep an arm, he is a 4th round pick for many
