Best 4th Keeper in your opinion WHIR

[footballisbetter.com]

My gut says to go with Ichiro, but with your league format I would probably keep Davis. You guys use an extra CI spot, but no extra OF spot. So the value of 1B/3B goes up while OF doesn't. You already have a bunch of OF and the position will be deep in your league.

I agree with this post. Your lineup requirements makes Davis the pick..with Gallardo 2nd.

I'd keep Davis. Ichiro is good but getting old for baseball standards and should start to decline a little. Davis has great upside and should produce nicely.

thanks for your help with mine

I agree that it's between Ichiro & Davis. From a draft perspective though, you have an idea where you would be getting Ichiro given his history & age, but Davis could be taken in a wider range of spots. I have a hard time taking Ichiro with your stat setup & the added value as an infielder puts Davis over the top for me. Ichiro is getting older and if he ends up just hitting for average his value goes down real fast.

I'm not a fan of Ichiro at all, but he is the best player on the board.

However, you're in a league that emphasis' infielders. You are already keeping two OF in a year where there are a lot of good quality sleepers in the OF. You have to go with Davis. He gives you position flexibility and could break out in a big way this year.

Thanks again all - any other thoughts? Keeper deadline coming in 2 days

I'm leading towards Davis. Ichiro and Crawford should be pretty similar players this year, so there's no need to keep both of them. Davis gives you position flexibility, and he qualifies at 3B, which I think is actually one of the most shallow positions in the game right now.

At first I would have said Ichiro but everyone here makes a good point take Davis.

Unless you truly believe that Price will be the dominant pitcher in the game in the near future, I'd trade him for extra picks in a heartbeat.
