Pick 2 Keepers. I like Braun & ?

Postby Cyclone177 » Wed Feb 18, 2009 12:46 pm

Ok, I am for sure keeping Braun, but I can't decide between Lance Berkman or Hamilton. Lance had a huge year last year, but tapered big time in the second half. Also, he seems to have a good year, and then a mediocre year. Hamilton was huge for me but also tapered in the second half, but his injuries sort of scare me. Plus Milton Bradley is gone and he was a big part of that lineup.

Are there any pitchers you would keep over Berkman\Hamilton?

OF Soriano

The logical choice would probably be Berkman. I know people are still skeptical of Hamilton but his performance at the home run derby proved to me that he is the real deal as a serious power threat. The talk that continues to surround him about what if he falls back in to his drug addictions is nonsense. Take a serious look at him, and his obvious dedication to being an all star caliber player and tell me you think that is a serious possibility. I'm keeping Braun and Hammy.

Thanks for the quick reply. I was actually leaning to Hamilton and Braun, I have had them the last 2 years, so I really like them both. The drug issue doesn't worry me at all, it is the health\consistency that really scares me. I am really having a tough time deciding between Hammilton and Berkman. Big Puma was the man 1st half last year. But so was Hamilton. Damn!!!!
