Hello my fellow fantasy-lovin' freaks. My league's trade deadline is almost here (1 week away) and so as I look at last minute moves to improve my standing both this year (I'm within 2 games of the lead) and next, I need to identify my 5 Keepers.

My league is 10 players, Head-to-Head, using mostly standard CBS HtH points. I also get to keep my minors player as long as I don't play him this year.

So, if you were me, which of these fine ballers would you keep for your team next year?? Hook me up with your knowledge! Thanks in advance.

Batters
Martinez, Victor C BOS
Cabrera, Miguel 1B DET
Phillips, Brandon 2B CIN
Ramirez, Aramis 3B CHC
Tulowitzki, Troy SS COL
Lee, Carlos N. LF HOU
Lind, Adam LF TOR
Werth, Jayson RF PHI
Howard, Ryan 1B PHI
Cruz, Nelson R. RF TEX
Berkman, Lance 1B HOU (DL)

Pitchers
Aardsma, David RP SEA
De La Rosa, Jorge SP COL
Floyd, Gavin SP CHW
Howell, J.P. RP TB
Lidge, Brad RP PHI
Street, Huston RP COL
Verlander, Justin SP DET
Cecil, Brett SP TOR
Fuentes, Brian RP ANA
Jurrjens, Jair SP ATL
Masterson, Justin SP CLE
Price, David SP TB

I've bolded the five I'd keep...and try to move Berkman to a non-contending team to help their keepers for some help for your team this year...like maybe for a solid SP?

I'd go

Verlander
M. Cabrera
R. Howard
B. Phillips
Tulo (with Lind close behind).

They are all pretty young and have many good years ahead, With Tulo getting better.

A-Ram is getting old and always gets hurt, V-mart is on the wrong side of 30 (and has played catcher)
