Matt Kemp over Carlos Lee.... are you crazy?!?!?!!

[lastingsgriller]

I'm in a keeper league. standard 5x5 except OPS instead of avg.

my keepers are Prince Fielder, Nick Markakis, and Evan Longoria

I have the #1 pick in the draft.

Best players available would be

Carlos Lee
Matt Kemp
Ichiro
Roy Halladay
Brian Roberts
Brandon Phillips

obviously El Caballo is a machine. guarentees 30 HR and 110 RBI.. but will kemp be that far off, adn he could help to address the speed difficiency we are dealing with..

Kemp Definately he could go 25-35 hr plus throw in speed.

Help with mine please?

I like Kemp too, but I do think it would be a little crazy to take him over Lee. I would look for cheap speed elsewhere.

I'd go with Kemp also and would hardly even think about it.

Please help with mine.

Since this is a keeper league there is some credence to taking Kemp over Lee, but Lee isn't that old (turns 33 in June), and I'd say he will at least have 10 more HR, 25 more RBI, and hit 20 points higher then Kemp this year. I can't blame you for taking Kemp if your gut tells you to go that route, but I'd take C Lee.

Kemp
Halladay
Lee

in all honesty the fact that it's a keeper league doesn't really factor in for me.. because as you glance at my keepers (Prince, Markakis, Longoria) they are all under 25. also, I am quite sure that Jay Bruce is gonna make it to my 2nd rd pick, which is where I'll be taking him. so next year we are keeping 4 players, but if all goes as i expect it will be Prince, Markakis, Longoria, adn Bruce. and neither Kemp nor El Caballo will factor in.. blah..blah..blah... sorry about that.. long story short I'm just concerned with getting the player that will bring me fantasy glory NOW!

Kemp definately then, as he will give speed and power points, both Kemp and Lee will have similar BA, plus Lee's BA flucuates wildly season to season.

Last year earned,

Halladay $37
Kemp $28
Lee $24
Fielder $24

I wouldn't lock Fielder in as a keeper yet, Kemp/Halladay are better.
