Who To Draft #6 Overall In Keeper League *WHIR*

Postby stickkeys108 » Wed Mar 11, 2009 8:15 pm

10 Team
Yahoo!
Roto
4 Keeper (2 Pitchers/2 Hitters)

My Keepers:
Matt Kemp (11th Round)
Justin Morneau (21st Round)

John Lackey (7th Round)
Dan Haren (9th Round)

From what I've been able to tell, the top 3 picks are going to go as follows:

Team 1: Grady Sizemore
Team 2: Ryan Howard
Team 3: Mark Teixeira
Team 4: Unknown
Team 5: Unknown
Team 6: NO PICK
Team 7: NO PICK
Team 8 (My team):
Team 9: NO PICK
Team 10: Unknown

After that, it leaves the rest of the round wide open.

The best available would be:

Jimmy Rollins
Ian Kinsler
Matt Holliday
Alfonso Soriano
Carlos Beltran

So, who should I zero in on?

If Rollins falls to me, I'm definitely going to take him, but I don't think he will. Soriano? Beltran? Holliday? Kinsler?

I have the 2nd pick of the 2nd round and I've heard that the guy with the back-to-back picks at the end of the round is going to take Carlos Quentin and Johan Santana. I'm thinking an OF in the 1st and Kinsler in the 2nd.

Any thoughts?

Your order is correct: Rollins, Kinsler, Holliday, Soriano, Beltran (unless OF is separated by position, and Beltran moves up to a pick 'em with Holliday).

Don't get too fancy with your logic: take the best players available when they are. I would take Kinsler first, knowing that I have four great OF choices (even if he changes his mind, that just means Quentin's there, too). If Rollins goes, your M-INF could get scary in a hurry if you miss Kinsler. And that owner might assume Kinsler won't slide to him.

If Rollins doesn't fall to you, take Kinsler then an outfielder. Do not take an outfielder first if he is available. There are more comperable outfield options than there are 2B options comperable to Kinsler.
