Am I Keeping The Right Guys?

Postby L-Dawg » Sat Feb 28, 2009 11:29 pm

I'm in a 10-team H2H points league. We can keep up to 7 players. Here are the guys that I'm considering keeping:

Texiera
Kinsler
Aramis Ramirez
Markakis
Ortiz

Halladay
Lackey

The other 2 guys that I would consider are Vlad and Zambrano. I guess I'm a little concerned about Ortiz, though Vlad and Z have their injury concerns as well. The other option is to only keep 6 guys and start drafting a little earlier. What do you guys think?

I think your sticks are good, but i hesitate keeping ANY starters outside of Santana, Lincecum, Hamels and Webb...Hallarday is borderline, but SP is really deep, so if you have other bats (like Vlad) then you can keep them over Lackey.

Halladay is a stud(ranked #4 overall at the end of last season on Yahoo).....I would stick with what you have. Vlad and Z are both on downslides, if you want them for this year try and redraft them.

How can you say Halladay is borderline???? He has been one of the top 3 SP every year for the last 5, except for one when he took a liner off the shin and broke a bone in his leg. Even then he was on CY Young pace.

I think your selections are correct. Vlad is tailing and Big Z is no comparison to your other who pitchers.

I say Halladay is borderline because he has thrown 220+ innings EACH of the last 3 seasons and eventually his arm will fall off ala Barry Zito i think...but, of course i could be wrong

I like to keep bats over pitchers so I'd keep Vlad instead of Lackey. Halladay still ranks ahead of Lackey on my list of pitchers. Although Vlad's numbers are declining, he'll still give you solid and consistent production.

I like what you have and would not take Vlad over Lackey.
90% of my posts are from complaining about my team :)
