Fourth year keeper league with each team keeping two. Given that 10 out of 16 stats are offensive, I'm leaning towards two bats. Here are my options for keepers:
B.J. Upton Ian Kinsler Lance Berkman Matt Holliday Tim Lincecum
If Holliday was still with Colorado, I would say it should be Kinsler and Holliday. Berkman and Upton are right there too though. Any help would be apreciated. WHIR
Berk is a first half stud, and second half dud... and who knows how the change will effect holliday... take the top 2B and a top 10 at bare minimum OF and run with them...
I'd say your legitimate keeper options are Kinsler/Lincecum/Holliday. I can't imagine keeping Upton over Holliday or Lincecum. Berkman is a every other year player IMO, coming off a horrible second half and due for his down year. Take him out of the equation. 1B is deep enough you can get someone comparable, perhaps even Berkman himself, with your 1st or 2nd pick...
I know that no one likes to keep pitchers. But Lincecum is special.
I'd go Kinsler/Lincecum, and the reason I take Lince over Holliday is because of the switch to Oakland. Lincecum is special. Keep him and don't look back.

I have to say Kinsler and Upton. Kinsler is arguably the top 2nd basemen this season. Upton will be a beast this year. I would want him over Holliday even if it were just for this year. But add in the fact that it is a keeper, and I say definitely Upton.
I go Kinsler and Lincecum, especially in keeper. Berk scares me, and Upton had a great post-season but is being overhyped and has to do it for an extended period. Holliday is cloase, but his #'s will fall and OF is deep- Lincecum, as stated previously, is special- thanks for mine.
