keepers... i cant decide!!! help! WHIR!

[ninremix]

I would take Mcann over Crawford only because its hard to find a catcher that can put up those numbers year after year while crawford had a down year last year and there are similar player that can get you bags.


Please help me ...

I would trust Sandoval at Catcher, and keep Crawford. His upside is just too much to drop. Also you might be able to redraft MaCann much easier than Crawford if you are so inclined.

Ok i for sure know these will be kept:

Tex
Braun
Roberts
Halladay
Hamels
Sandoval (rookie)

BUT i just can't come to dropping either McCann or Crawford, so which would you personally drop first? I know it would be sweet to have the comboed power of Tex/Braun and the speed of Roberts/Crawford, but then i look at it that if i keep McCann rather then Crawford i would have C, 1B, 2B, 1 OF slot covered, leaving me just to cover SS, 3B, 2 OF slots in the first couple rounds cuz this league just added in another starting spot, an IF slot... so we now start C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, IF, OF, OF, OF, Util, change any minds now?

And the only other thing im also worried about is if i throw back McCann i have to look for a C in a thin position cuz i need to keep a rookie, but im not 100% comfortable depending on Sandoval to carry the load for me at C (if he even carries the elegibility for the position this year...

make sure pablo has C elig. this year (which he should), and drop mccann to keep crawford.

OK A LITTLE TWIST HERE>>>>

commish just swapped up the categories and gave us some more time if we wanted to change our keepers check it out...

hitters are now:
R, HR, RBI, SB, BB, AVE, OBP

pitchers are now:
W, K, SV, CG, SHO, ERA, WHIP, K/9

so change any views keeping McCann over Crawford?

[HOOTIE]

Crawford is a bit overrated. McCann isn't.

[mister_jay_peg]

I take McCann. Top talent at the position, and hard to replicate in later rounds.

At some point Crawford just lost the hype for me. Season after season, talk of 20HR/40SB/100R, and it hasn't happened.

There are a ton of worthwhile OF's out there, even in keepers.

i would keep mccann over halladay and trade him to upgrade your ss/3b later...you can always find pitching

[L-Dawg]

Yeah, I can see your point about McCann. I think they're pretty much a wash really. Obvioulsy you have a very solid start in both AVG. and HR's so I think you could get by letting McCann go to take a very solid SB guy in Crawford. I really don't think you can go wrong with either of those guys so take the one you feel most comfortable with. I'd go:

Tex
Roberts
Braun
Crawford
Halladay
Hamels
Sandoval

Yes I understand that Halladay & Hamels are stud pitchers but just hear me out. The key to selling real estate is "location, location, location the same way the key to winning in fantasy baseball is offense, offense, offense. Those are just the facts. Offense wins championships in fantasy baseball. Also, it is 10x easier to find a free agent stud pitcher on the waiver wire than it is to find a free agent stud hitter. Bottom line, I would go with 7 hitters who play everyday & pile up stats for you & then draft a pitching staff solid enough to hold their own in the pitching categories.

I will gladly take Halladay ($37) earned last year, to Dunns ($20), and let you have your location.
Value and balance wins championships.
