We play a 5x5 rotisserie style 12 team league, and start the standard C, 1B, etc. plus and IF and UTL position. We keep 5 from 2008 team. Then open draft then begins with round 6, I finished 2nd in 2008 so I will have pick 11 in round 6, serpentine style.
My keepers will be.
Ryan Braun OF
Grady Sizemore OF
Carl Crawford OF
David Ortiz UTL
My options for Keeper #5 are:
Chad Billingsly SP
Scott Kazmir SP
Mariano Rivera RP
Robinson Cano 2B
Nate McClouth OF
Most draft boards would say keep McClouth however my OF is already full. Dont know if I can get a quality IF player for McClouth through trade if I keep him.
I appreciate any thoughts.
Thanks in advance, leave a link and I will answer yours.

As much as I like McLouth you seem to have 3 OF and Util set so I'd personally go with Billingsley here. Good young SP with high Ks. Bills will be an ace for years to come. You'll regret not picking him over Nate in 2 years...Bills gives immediate and long-term value. Just my opinion. Thanks for your help with mine.

Personally, I keep both McLouth and Billingsley and throw Ortiz back. But that's just me....
I think a trade for McLouth for any IF of equal value would be the ideal situation...

I would actually keep:
Sizemore
Braun
McLouth
Without a doubt... And then for the last two spots:
Crawford OR Ortiz
Billingsley OR Kazmir
I'd personally go Ortiz and Billingsley. You'd already have 3 OF's and good speed to boot, I think Crawford is expendable.

Bills would be my choice.
He has top 5 talent if he can drop that whip a bit.
Mine:
