Postby FantasyStud » Tue Feb 24, 2009 1:09 am

This is a 5x5 league with 10 teams. I came in first place last year, so I definitely have a solid core. 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-
SS- Jose Reyes
OF- Magglio Ordonez
OF- Adam Dunn
OF- Curtis Granderson
OF- Jacoby Ellsbury
OF- Michael Bourne
UTL- Ryan Howard
UTL- Miguel Cabrera (lost 3B eligibility; only eligible at 1B)
BN- Denard Span
BN- Randy Winn

P- CC Sabathia
P- John Lackey
P- Javier Vazquez
P- Ricky Nolasco
P- Chien Ming Wang
P- Jamie Moyer
P- Mark Buehrle
P- Francisco Rodriguez
P- Joakim Soria
BN- Trevor Hoffman
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)
C- Matt Wieters
P- David Price
P- Carlos Carrasco

As of now, I'm in agreement with you except:

I'm leaning towards Soria over Uggla; and between the OF's, leaning towards Magglio over Dunn.

Any other suggestions or thoughts? Thanks!

I would ussually say keep dunn.....but you cannot keep Uggla, Howard and Dunn. That would kill your average. If you do go with dunn make your first 2 picks average guys (kendrick, Polanco,....etc)

I wouldn't normally say to keep 2 closers , but I'm not a fan of Dunn or Uggla . Too much drain on batting average. You won't have to reach for a closer while others will be. You already have power with Howard and Cabrera.

Your top 8 are pretty clear cut IMO...

Reyes
Howard
MCab
Ellsbury
Grandy

Sabathia
Lackey
KRod

After that you basically come down to 2 between Uggla, Maggs, Soria and Dunn...

Taking both Uggla and Dunn on top of Howard would be rough on the old BA, and I dont like keeping 2 closers because they can be found throughout the year.

So, for your last two slots I'd go with Uggla and Maggs...

If you like Dunn a lot better than Uggla for whatever reason swap them and pick up a 2B fairly early in the draft.

Help me out?
