Ok, I'm officially keeping Gordon.

Now it's really down to Wang or Konerko.

My positions left to fill assuming I keep Gordon are SS, IF, 2 SP's, 1 RP, and 1 P. Does this make Wang slightly more valuable from my keeper situation standpoint? Does having someone like Cain, who gets the K's and no wins balance out Wang? Or is Konerko's power going ot be much harder to replace?

Konerko power will be able to replace since he isnt a 40+ homer guy anymore, he is now a low 30's guy which is easy to get in later rounds of a draft, Wang is pretty easy to replace too, but you know he will get wins, but you need to pick up low ERA and WHIP guys to counter act him, which is easy too since players like Dave Bush, Maholm, Kuroda, Slowey, wainwright , Baker, Litsch or Danks are either drafted in late rounds or not drafted at all

I'd go Gordon/Wang. I don't know what your salary cap is or what the other big names are costing people, but $22 seems a bit high for Konerko. I think Gordon can give similar or better numbers because he and his whole team should be better this year. So I'd take the pitcher who was a decent #1 and now gets to face #3s (which gives him a big advantage often) and a young guy with upside that can give similar numbers to Konerko now for less $$$.
