I'm in a H2H, 5x5, 15-player keeper league. I've decided on most of my keepers, but I need a little help determining who my last couple of keepers will be. So far, I've decided on:

1B Pujols, Morneau
2B Utley
3B Longoria
SS Alexei Ramirez
OF Braun, Holliday, Crawford
SP Lincecum, Zambrano

I need to pick 5 of the following:

OF Pence, Bruce
C VMart
SP Kazmir, ESantana, Volquez, Scherzer, Kershaw, Price, Verlander

I'm leaning toward VMart (that'd allow me to have my starting lineup complete), ESantana and Kazmir...and two out of Scherzer, Kershaw, Price, Pence, Bruce.

Thoughts?

To begin with I would not keep Zambrano, so with that said, I would keep the following:

First off that is a hell of a team you have there. I hope this is a shallow league or the rest of the owners will be playing for second.

I would drop Zambrano from your keeper list and add the following, in addition I would try to deal because you are going to be dropping some tasty talent. I am sure there are some starving owners who would be chomping at the bit to make a deal for some of your talent. I would be looking to deal any pitching combos outside of Lincecum.

Pence
Bruce
VMart
Santana
Kazmir
Price, is worth the last keeper spot IMHO. But again I would be looking to deal your pitchers.

PACKAGE YOUR PITCHERS for and upgrade.

I'd keep these

C-V. Martinez
1B Pujols, Morneau
2B Utley
3B Longoria
SS Alexei Ramirez
OF Braun, Holliday, Bruce, Pence
SP Lincecum, Kazmir, Ervin, Volquez, Price

Crawford is too overrated throw him and injury risk C-Zam back and go with some upside. You have an illegal core of players which affords you to take some risks. If they pay off youll walk away with your league, if not you have a good chance of winning anyway. All you'll have to do is draft closers. Try like crazy to grab Wieters with your first pick and backup Martinez think work on filling out any utility spots and closers.

Check my list above with the changes I've made, do you have room to keep all I've recommended from above?
