My Lone Keeper... WHIR

[Trojan Pony]

OK, I only have one keeper this year in this league (don't ask)... the options aren't great:

Chris Iannetta
Jayson Werth
Lastings Milledge
Bobby Jenks
Brad Lidge
David Price

Who would you keep? H2H 6x6 (standard 5x5 + OBP & IP)

I could have easily had Kinsler instead of one of these guys but I blew it (again, don't ask).

Thanks!

Do you HAVE to keep one?

Yes.

Werth for me. He's actually pretty valuable in an OBP league imo.

First off let me say,..... I'm sorry

Chris Iannetta
Good year last year and I think he will improve. But I just don't like keeping a catcher normally

Jayson Werth
Good year last year, I think he might have another good year, but his numbers made big jumps and It didn't fit the trend he made so I have my doubts

Lastings Milledge
Solid numbers and I think he can build on that. BUT the logjam at 1b/of in Washington scares me. So I don't know if he will get the AB's


Brad Lidge
I don't see him putting up numbers like he did last year, maybe he gets close but not just that good.

David Price
I doubt he gets more than 20 starts and just cant see him being kept.

so really it comes down to Werth or Iannetta for me, And sad to say I think Iannetta is the better choice...... But good luck this year

I almost feel like given my situation, I'd rather just roll the dice on a high risk/high reward guy like Milledge or Price... That makes sense, right?

Thanks a lot. Good stuff.

I'm basically in this situation because I sold my soul to the devil last year (along with all of my keepers) in an all-out push for the championship. I fell just short and finished second. I was hoping to have at least ONE great keeper as some kind of consolation, but nope... Looks like a rebuilding year... But after finishing 2nd two years in a row in a competitive 16-team league, I think I'm about due for an off year.

Do you really see Milledge's starting spot as being in some jeopardy? I'd think he'd be safe with the numbers he put up last year...

it makes sense, but in this case i think werth actually has 30/30 upside with everyday playing time and will almost certainly put up quite a bit better OBP than milledge.

The more I think about it, the more I like Iannetta... My Catcher last year was a non-stop carousel until I got Iannetta for the last couple months, who was consistently solid. It would be kinda nice to just keep him and not have to worry about drafting (and undoubtedly overreaching for) a Catcher and instead focus my attention elsewhere... Hmm...

He also sported an excellent OBP of .390...
