Pick my final keeper WHIR

Postby Guzman24 » Mon Feb 16, 2009 4:29 pm

12 teamer 5x5 8 keepers no restrictions

Other keepers are: Reyes,Howard,Utley,CLee,McCann,Lincecum,Webb

Options: Victorino, J.Shields, Hart, Chipper.

Based on mocks done this year everything points to Hart but I see a very very good year for Victorino in 2009. Shields IMO could easily be a top 10 SP and having 3 in the top 10 would be stellar. Chipper is old but always produces when he's playing at a very thin positon.

THOUGHTS??? :-S

Wow, that's a tough decision. All very comparable in terms of overall value, but yet they contribute in very different ways. B/c it is a keeper league, I would lean towards keeping Hart.

im assuming thats carlos lee in the OF on ur list, I think with lincecum and webb you can let shields go (might be a good draft pick though)
I was never a huge fan of having tons of players from the same team but thats just me referring to the phillies. i think either way you go between hart and victorino will be good. You have a nice balance of Power and speed with reyes sneaking in there beside all ur power hitters, So victorino gets you more steals and runs with a slightly better average, whereas hart would get more Hr's and rbi's. So after that rather pointless rambling ill give ya what you want :-D

Victorino is my pick!

thanx for the help with mine ;-D

I'd lean towards Hart based on the HR, RBI, and SB he is going to get you...

im actually going to go with shields here.... your hitting seems pretty stacked and shield would make your pitching pretty impressive. Other teams in your league have no chance against you with a good pitching staff as your hitters have to be the best in the league

All 4 are close. You could probably make a case for any of them. I really am a big believer in Hart.

that is a tough choice... but I would go with Hart. I think his floor is lower than Victorino's but he also has a higher ceiling. Go with Victorino if you want that dependable player. Go with Hart if you want a player who could take a major step forward...
