LF - Matt Holliday (Col - LF) CF - Aaron Rowand (SF - CF) RF - Randy Winn (SF - LF,CF,RF) is he worth keeping cuz of his speed? Util - Andre Ethier (LAD - LF,RF) Util - Jayson Werth (Phi - LF,CF,RF) BN - Mark Teahen (KC - 1B,3B,LF,RF) BN - Hank Blalock (Tex - 1B,3B) BN - Jarrod Saltalamacchia (Tex - C,1B) BN - Alexi Casilla (Min - 2B) keep Alexi over Clint?!

I have 22 players selected as my definite (green) and probable (blue) keepers. Do you agree with all of my keeper picks? Who would be your five most expendable? Also, what position might I want to focus on in the upcoming free agent and prospect draft?
Thanks and feel free to leave a link!

This is the way I'd go. I like Reyes' upside in his new situation better than Welle, who IMO is not likely to repeat his one-hit wonder from last year.
Casilla Laird McCarthy Wellemeyer (fluke) And Sherrill or Ziegler, your choice . Prob Ziegler.
In a 20 teamer there are always,always interesting RP floating around if you look hard enough (especially early in the season), so I'd feel comfortable throwing either Sherrill or Ziegler away. The other 4 are no-brainers.

For the sake of simplicity, can you please name your bottom five that you would discard?
My five are looking like: 1) Laird 2) McCarthy 3) Wellemeyer 4) Feliz(/Teahen) 5) Barmes(/Casilla)
I love Barmes' versatility, but Casilla holds more potential and is the more youthful option. At this point, I feel like I am better suited to rebuild my team from the ground up, and stockpile young talent. Does this mean that Winn needs to go too?!
Which five would you say appear to be most expendable?! If I let go of Barmes, it would mean that Renteria would be my only option at SS until Brignac makes it to the majors. Is this acceptable?

renteria is definitely an acceptable starter in a 20 team league.
