Who is my last keeper?

[Ali2907]

10 team H-T-H (standard 5X5). Keep 9 per year.

My team: keepers bolded

C-Joe Mauer
1-Mark Teixeira
2-Chase Utley
3-Kevin Kouzmanoff
ss-Stephen Drew
of-Grady Sizemore
of-Matt Holliday
of-Hunter Pence
util-delmon young
bench-Johnny Damon,Chris B Young, Travis Hafner

sp-Felix Hernandez, James Shields, Jon Lester, Matt Cain, Brett Myers, Clayton Kershaw, Gavin Floyd

rp-Mariano Rivera, Jonathan Broxton, Brian Fuentes

So who is my last Keeper: Stephen drew, hunter pence, jon lester, broxton, delmon young?

[Tenacious D-Store]

I'm on the fence with Pence and Drew. OF is deep, so I'd probably keep Drew.

[CadensDad]

I'd go Drew

[Andy117]

I'd keep lester and kershaw and drop Rivera. It's easy to get closers in a 10 team league.

[HOOTIE]

Drew and Pence, cut Rivera.

[Tenacious D-Store]

Drew and Pence, cut Rivera.

Duh! Of course. You don't want Mo. He's an old man as far as the MLB goes. Not sure why I didn't say that.

[HOOTIE]

Drew and Pence, cut Rivera.

Duh! Of course. You don't want Mo. He's an old man as far as the MLB goes. Not sure why I didn't say that.

Plus, in a 10 team league, closers can be had easily.

[Ali2907]

rivera is still a top 5 closer in the league. I dont care much for his age since i am trying to win now.

So the consensus is pence+drew?

[RDD15]

If your bolded guys are set in stone, take Drew I think.

I agree with the cut Mo sentiment. I would even go so far as to say that he is the last of your 3 closers I would take. He might have been a top 5 closer last year, but age is gonna catch up to him sometime, and you don't want to be holding the bag when it does.

I probably cut Mo and keep Drew+Kershaw. People somehow value Kershaw less than Price and Joba quite often. I don't get that. Pence is nice, but there are similar players out there.

[auclairkeithbc]

Well Drew for sure. I would keep Rivera though. You have a good keeper core, and likely someone you draft will have a case to be a keeper as well, so you'll be leaving someone off the list. Maybe that will be Rivera. Maybe it will be Rivera in 2011. He is a stud, and it isn't worth keeping Pence over him in my mind.
