Keep: Fucal in the 9th or Votto in the 15th?

Postby EWeaver » Tue Feb 17, 2009 1:39 pm

14 team points league. I'm really struggling with this.

I'm not in a position to get an elite SS, and Votto is eligible at 1b which is obviously extremely deep, so...any thoughts? I don't expect Furcal to play a full season, but I'm still tempted because SS is so weak this year.

Who are your other keepers??

but I would hold onto Votto, thats a great value at 15th... and he's just gonna get better, while Furcal is going downhill and is injury prone now. I'm sure you can find a reasonably good SS or draft Furcal back even... alot of people are sour on him right now.

Surrender the later draft pick w/ votto and try to get fooky again in the draft.

I'd keep votto even if they were in the same round, needless to say he's definitely the guy i'd go with when there's a 6 round difference.

Votto is a much better value.

Thanks, dudes.

Typically, I'd say Votto, but it depends how many others you think will keep 1B. 1B is always a really deep position from year to year, with new studs constantly emerging. I honestly think its about a toss up.
