Starting to stress about my keepers!

Postby C2ThaLo88 » Fri Feb 13, 2009 11:19 am

I posted about 2 months ago, maybe 3 now, I was having trouble deciding on my keepers. After the responses I decided to go with:
Utley
Beltran
Rios
Hart
Haren
Drew

Since then, I've been constantly thinking about it (who wouldn't right?). Maybe I'm just looking for reassurance that I'm making the right decisions. The players I'm having trouble deciding on are VMart, Votto, Bruce, and Hardy. I figure I shouldn't keep Votto because 1B is decently deep this year, although I absolutely love him and think he's going to be a top 5 1B for sure (perhaps I'm over rating him). VMart is too big a question mark from his injury last year, and he wasn't doing well before he was injured. He's still projected at top 5 for catchers however. Bruce, if he lives up to the hype he could be the best hitter in baseball from what I hear, but it's all speculation. And Hardy I think is a toss up between him and Drew. Any suggestions or comments to ease my pain?

imo on 2/13/2009 Hart is a better fantasy option than Bruce. However for my last choice in a keeper I would go Bruce over Hart.

My Keepers would be:
Utley
Beltran
Rios
Haren

Drew
Bruce

A strong case could be made to keep Hart over either Drew or Bruce but I would not.

Would it be a terrible idea to keep 4 OF and drop Haren? My only reasoning because it's going to be tough to let Bruce slip away with his upside... And after taking a closer look at the pitching categories, I think hitting is way more valuable than I originally thought. Especially when comparing to a pitcher like Haren who rarely gets any CG or SHO. Aside from the audacity of keeping 4 OF, is Bruce over Haren a terrible idea? I love Haren but Bruce's future is so bright...
