Who you all say is who I keep. WHIR!

Postby Ravens Black » Sat Aug 15, 2009 10:13 am

I keep changing my keepers and have made some moves in the other managers favor in order to get some guys. Dumping guys like K-Rod, Jason Bay, Josh Johnson, Cole Hamels, Ted Lilly, Roy Oswalt, Gordon Beckham, etc.

I dont know if I even made progress that said the deadline is over and I need to choose. I'm in last place with a chance to get out of it but not in the money. Do I really want to get out of last and avoid first pick next year? Anyway it's a 5X5, 8 team (lol, I'm this bad in an 8 team league. I have to much faith in players), Roto league, no keeper consequence and it's in it's 6th year.

I know there is someobvious keepers but I'm taking the cafe's opinion into next year. thanks ahead of time.

5 KEEPERS

5 Keepers...Tough choice, lots of talent:
Lincecum (He's a FREAK!)
Tulo (He's Back)
Aaron Hill (2nd best next to Utley)
Zimmerman (Fill the infield with young talent)
Wieters (He's gonna be top 5 next year)

I like Votto, but there's so many great first basemen. Plus I weigh hitting way higher. I'm first in pitching this year and I owe it to watching the waivers (Edwin, Nolasco, Carpenter, Howell, Pineiro) Good luck!
