I need 2 keepers

Postby Padres Fan » Fri Aug 07, 2009 4:41 pm

I am in a 11 Team ESPN Keepr league 6x6 scoring (Standard plus OPS and QS, also Saves/Holds count as one). We get 8 Keepers

So Far I chose these six players on my team:
Joe Mauer-C
Justin Morneau-1B
Gordon Beckham-SS/3B
Shane Victorino-OF
Andrew McCutchen-OF
Nelson Cruz-OF

And I need 2 players from this list, what would help my team the best:
Chone Figgins-3B
Kyle Blanks-1B/OF
Alex Rios-OF
Jonathan Broxton-Closer
David Price-SP
Brandon Webb-SP
Edwin Jackson-SP
Neftali Feliz-SP/RP

I'd go with Figgins and Broxton. Price is also tempting, but he's still got a ways to go.

Thanks for your post...

I like some of those young players but it is hard to take them as keeper yet.
I would give Webb benefit of doubt and keep him. Some may not.
I am torn on Edwin and Broxton, but pressed, I am going Broxton.

As other posters will suggest, you have time to explore trades. Broxton has to have buyers out there. Price too in keeper.

IF holds and saves count as one, saves really go down in value.

Keep Price and Webb (his injury is apparently minor).

i don't know where the webb optimism is coming from. he's too risky coming back from shoulder surgery imo. i'd definitely keep figgins and jackson/price. i just think closers are more replaceable than quality starting pitching. lean towards jackson but see how price finishes the year.

thanks for your help with mine.

Thanks guys, I am trying to figure on some trades, but at the same time I might wait until the keeper deadline and let players go back in the draft and take a gamble on being able to redraft certain players, is this a wise move or should I offer some trades?

I'd drop Victorino since you're already keeping two OFs and keep Broxton, Price, and Feliz. Those guys are gonna be huge for years to come.
