ok, my league is a 3 yr Keeper with $300 to spend at the draft. salary increases by $5 every year. my keepers as of now are: player / money spent / year on contract 1. C, Davis $6 1st 2, J. Ellsbury $9 1st 3. P. Fielder $24 3rd (via trade) 4. A. Rios $16 3rd
for the 5th slot i have to choose between: 1. M Ramirez $28 1st 2. J. Bruce $9 1st 3. S. Victorino $7 1st 4. D. Price $6 1st
i know Manny is a steal at $28 but is that worth losing the rights to Bruce,Victorino, or Price? not to mention the money i'd save for the draft if i go with one of the other guys. Perhaps i should change one of my other 4 listed keepers? What do you all think.. thanks for any help you can offer.

I'd also go with Bruce, manny would be a stud addition to have on your team, but the comment you made about having more to go into the draft with I agre with... Bruce has a huge upside and won't cost you as much, you can then also try to snag manny if not somethin better in the draft with that extra money
I would probably have to go with either Bruce or Price myself, At the moment I'm leaning towards Price. I see great things coming for him in the somewhat near future. If you didn't already have Ellsbury and Rios as OF keepers I would pick Bruce, but since you do I'll go with Price.

That is who I would go with, gives you a solid OF and potential studs at CI and SP
