i think that I would keep Lincecum, Hamilton, and Gonzalez. Im a bit skeptical about Mclouth and I think that Gonzalez is solid for that price.

thanks for your help on mine

I think this would be a good set too. OF is relatively deep, and I think you could get a replacement for McClouth relatively cheaply, while trying to replace Gonzalez's production at 1st at that rate would be quite difficult.

I also get to choose 2 protected free agents. One will be Hanley and I was thinking of making Gonzales my other. What do you think?

Youk has 2 home runs in 2 games so far in the WBC. Maybe the power is for real?

Agreed. Makes for best value by far. Hamilton is too expensive and McClouth is probably replaceable.

hamilton is a must.. but after that, I see AGonz being way better than Youk this year.. so even with the extra $4 AGonz is a better value.

as far as McLouth goes.. he never in his minor league career showed the power he had last year, so that is probably a mirage.. you can expect the same average.. but without the power he's not too great of a fantasy player...

also, to add to the mix, markakis is pretty poised to break out this year and he's a guy you'd like to have when that happens.. but then again, you can probably just get him in your auction for a similar price.. may only cost you an extra dollar or two..

long story short.. Lince, Hamilton, Adrian..

Last years earnings

McLouth $28
Gonzalez $27

Both are projected pretty close this year. McLouths power is legit, if you look at 07.

McLouth only cost $10. He will hit maybe 5 less hrs then Gonzalez, but will steal 20-25 more bases.
