Which players do I keep? WHIR

Postby briane » Sun Mar 08, 2009 6:25 pm

7 team AL only, 3 protections allowed; here are my realistic options:

Joe Mauer ($23)
Matt Wieters ($6)
Shin-Soo Choo ($6)
Nick Markakis ($28)
Adam Lind ($6)
Josh Hamilton ($34)
Koji Uehara ($6)
Frank Francisco ($6)
Joey Devine ($6)
Brandon Morrow ($6)

Hamilton and Markakis are my sure fire picks.
On the third choice, I'd probably lean between Wieters, Mauer and Morrow, in that other.

I guess I would make it unanimous then. I have to agree with everyone about Markakis, Wieters, and Hamilton. Adam Lind is a nice choice though, I think now that he knows he's going to be a big leaguer from now on and not riding the AAA to majors shuttle anymore (not with Cito Gaston there anyway) that he'll put up a solid season. But he won't have the same kind of numbers the other 3 will. Mauer would have been a nice pick too since you know what you're getting with him, but Wieters will hit for a lot more power than Mauer does and will knock in more runs.

Thanks. I am pretty convinced on Markakis. Hamilton I still feel might be a bit pricey to protect. I like Shin-Soo Choo at the price (we count OBP, SLG, and Hits, and not Average or HR).

Wieters I still am unconvinced, only based on when the Orioles will bring him up.

But it is pretty unanimous on Hamilton, Wieters, and Markakis. I will take another look at those guys.
