I am having trouble picking keepers this season, any help will be greatly appreciated. We are able to keep 10 general players, doesn't matter what position (ie, does not have to be 5 batters and 5 pitchers)

thanks!!

Welcome to the Cafe Hope you'll stay awhile. I wouldn't normally keep so many arms, but the rest of your offense is mediocre a best. Good luck.

Thanks guys. I was not going to keep chipper especially if i keep Zimmerman. Chipper is solid but is as old as time.

Yea my offense is mediocre, my team is extremely pitcher heavy. I know sheets is an injury waiting to happen, but when he is healthy is produces. and i think liriano will come around. Picking keepers is sp frusturating!
