Who to keep: Wright or Longoria

Postby elang0 » Wed Mar 11, 2009 8:55 pm

I'm in a 12 team head-to-head keeper league and can keep up to 3 players for a total value of $30. The less i spend, the higher draft position i'm given.

Here are the peeps i'd consider "keepable".

1) D Wright-$25
2) Brandon Phillips- $10
3) Bobby Abreu-$5
4) Zach Greinke-$2
5)Carlos Quentin-$2
6) Tim Lincecum- $2
7)Matt Cain- $2
8) Evan Longoria- $2

i'm struggling as to whether to keep Wright, Lincecum and Quentin at $29 and probably having a pick in the 8-12 range or Longoria, Lincecum and Quentin at $6 and probably having a top 6 pick.

just not sure if the gulf between wright and longoria is great enough to keep david and have a later pick or if i should keep longoria and potentially get a top pick

Let me know your thoughts

I think Wright is worth the money, but Longoria at $2 is still too good to pass up. I'd keep Longoria, Lincecum, and Quentin.

totally agree with this... sucks i was gonna say Wright, Longoria and Linc, but that leaves you with only $1 left which will almost assure the last to later round pick... its up to you i think i would take the chance and snag 2 outstanding 3B in wright and longoria (at one of the slimmer positions out there) with a stud ace and then just worry about running your draft afterwards...

help me out...

I agree, WRight is worth it but Longoria at 2 bucks is a steal. Keep him, Lincecum and Quentin.

please help

Just be but I'd easily take Wright, Longoria and Lincecum here. OF is a heck of a lot deeper this year and 3B is very shallow. By taking two of the top 5 3B in fantasy you throw off the balance and hurt the rest of your leaguemates. Especially since A-Rod is going to miss some time and Aramis is seemingly on the decline.
