Even though I have 6 outfieders already? I want Hermida as I am a marlin fan but not sure if it would be smart...

i also like hermida....but i think you should look at adam laroche. if he puts together two good halves to a season he could be a 285 - 35 - 100. WIth lee in your lineup i would get a backup.

As for pitchers....i dont mind masterson.

Who are the relievers available?

please help

I think Gregg and Olson could both be good sleepers here. Olson has been really inconsistent, but it's a 15th pick, and that's not too big of a gamble. The Nats have added Adam Dunn, and Zimmerman is healthy, plus that team just seems to be better overall. Gregg may beat out Marmol as the closer, but he still should get a nice ERA and WHIP to help out the relief corps for you. As a hitter, Hermida does seem to be the best option. However, you should also look to move 1 or 2 of your OFs because you are so saturated at that position, and you could get a nice reliever for someone.

The best pick would be Hermida, but you already have a ton of OFs. Since this is a keeper league, I would go after someone who has keeper potential.

Out of that list I like Gio Gonzalez, Carlos Carrasco, and Jose Arrendando (will be closing in a year or two).

Although there are still some decent hitters on the board, I think it would be more beneficial to your team if you were to draft pitchers...

It's a keeperleague, but I doutb I keep anyone I get here as we only keep 15 and my keepers are pretty damn ridiculous for a 14 team league. I am just trying to get the best talent. No one likes my idea of Guthrie here? I could just take Hermida and trade a couple outfielders if anything. I'm ususally more a believer of getting the best player than filling a need as I am pretty good at trading.
