I am in a 13-team standard 5X5 mixed roto league. We can keep 9 players and their salaries come off the $260 we start with for the auction. We start 9 pitchers and 14 hitters -- C,C,1B, 2B, 3B, SS, CI, MI, 5 OF and UTIL and two bench.
I have a list of six players that I am going to keep and need to pick three more from the second list. Please take a look and let me know who you would keep as you final three and if there are any that I have listed as keepers you wouldn't want to keep.
Keeping:
C: Bengie Molina $6 1B: Prince Fielder $10 SS: J.J. Hardy $10 SS: Hanley Ramirez $10 OF: Carlos Gomez $1 P: Brian Fuentes $10
Possible keepers
OF: Rick Ankiel $9 OF: Brad Hawpe $15 OF: Adam Jones $10 OF: Alfonso Soriano $36 1B: Carlos Delgado $10 P: George Sherrill $12 1B: David Ortiz $30
soriano and papi are just too expensive to keep at those prices for me
jones is a great value for 10 i think hawpe isnt bad for 15 (rick was a consideration, but not sure how much i like him this year) delgado for 10 is a bit pricy, but for me it was a best of the rest situation (as i dont trust sherrill to keep the job all year with ray back)

Jones and Delgado are easy picks. I'll still go with Hawpe even at $15 over Ankiel. Power-wise, I think they'll wind up the same, but Hawpe should hit for a better average (Ankiel is more like the .250-260 type with hopes for a .270 average).

Cheap, Cheap, Cheap... save your money. I think hawpe is overpriced especially if his L/R splits keep stinking so badly...he might end up being platooned again.
