10 team H2H keeper (keep any 8) 6x6 (adds OPS and pitching losses) daily changes with 22 man roster
C: 1B: Fielder 2B: Utley SS: H. Ramirez 3B: Wright 3 OF: Quentin Bay 2 UT: Kinsler
SP Halladay RP Papelbon
That's my top 9 guys. (I left off Liriano, Harden, Joba and Sheets of course) Unable to work a trade, I must leave somebody behind. While Kinsler duplicates 2B, his position scarcity raises his value.
Who and why?

I would keep Liriano and Harden. Liriano looked great in his last 7 starts last year and should be a year stronger this year and will be the Twins ace. Harden showed that when healthy what he can do and what he can do is be a total stud. Both should put up nice stats this year.
I would drop Papelbon. I don't really like getting a closer within the first 8 rounds of my draft anyways so I personally would not keep papelbon. Your batting is pretty set with the guys you are keeping so you can address pitching when you redraft.
While closers aren't a dime a dozen, they also aren't super-required. You can get some decent save numbers in later rounds, and they tend to pop up during the season.
But with Liriano, even if he only gets to be 90% of his 2006 status, that's still gonna be REAL good.
I'd say no to Harden, mainly because you said you haven't been able to work out a deal with this crew, and if I have Haren, he gets moved at the start of July, NQA.

I'm not so sure I agree with what others have said. Personally, I think I'd consider dropping Fielder if only because you can probably get a good 1B in the draft. Do you know who will likely be available at that point? That said, I've played in for years in a league that starts 5 OF so perhaps I overvalue a guy like Bay. Like others have suggested, I would probably drop Papelbon for Liriano as well.
