WHIR: Please Pick 10 Keepers! I promise I'll help you!

Postby FantasyStud » Tue Feb 17, 2009 10:13 pm

This is a 5x5 league with 10 teams. I came in first place last year. At the end of the year, we need to pick 10 keepers. Who do you all think I should keep?

My current team is:
C- Mike Napoli
1B- Derrek Lee
2B- Dan Uggla
3B- Miguel Cabrera
SS- Jose Reyes
OF- Magglio Ordonez
OF- Adam Dunn
OF- Curtis Granderson
OF- Jacoby Ellsbury
OF- Michael Bourne
UTL- Ryan Howard
UTL- Randy Winn
BN- Denard Span

P- CC Sabathia
P- John Lackey
P- Javier Vazquez
P- Ricky Nolasco
P- Zack Greinke
P- Jamie Moyer
P- Mark Buehrle
P- Francisco Rodriguez
P- Joakim Soria
BN- Trevor Hoffman
DL- Chien Ming Wang
DL- Takashi Saito

Prospects: (Prospects don't figure into keepers, as I get to keep them all regardless. So do keep in mind that I have property of these guys)
David Price
Carlos Carrasco
JR Towles

Thanks, and remember WHIR if you post your link! I promise!

There you go, I put them in bold. Maybe Granderson over Nolasco. But I'm high on him.

I'm a bit surprised.

Personally, I'm leaning now on: Ryan Howard, Miguel Cabrera, Jose Reyes, Magglio Ordonez, Curtis Granderson, Jacoby Ellsbury, CC Sabathia, John Lackey, Francisco Rodriguez, Joakim Soria.

Remember that as "guaranteed" keepers I have David Price, Carlos Carrasco, and JR Towles, as they are my prospects.

If I went with this 10, I wouldn't be keeping guys like Derrek Lee, Dan Uggla, Adam Dunn, Ricky Nolasco, Zach Greinke, Javier Vazquez

Thoughts?

Note: I should say that Miguel Cabrera is NO LONGER eligible at 3B. So that's why it'd be difficult to keep Lee, Howard, and Cabrera. I could use two at Utility, but I'd rather not fill up all of my utility spots within my first 10 keepers.

It was tough for me to leave Mags out, but he's what 35, 36 now? He's also had his share of injuries.

That's OK D Lee stinks. Pop Howard over at first, M-Cab over to Utility and your laughing.

I like your list actually. People leaving Granderson off this list is madness.
