Keeper Help! WHIR!

[sman]

I am in a head to head ten team keeper league on Yahoo! which uses these stats R, H, 3B, HR, RBI, SB, AVG, OBP, W, CG, SHO, SV, K, ERA, WHIP, K/BB.

I can keep between 8 to 10 players and was just looking for some advice on which players I should keep.

My Roster
C A.J. Pierzynski
1B Justin Morneau
2B Ian Kinsler
3B Chipper Jones
SS Yunel Escobar
OF Ichiro Suzuki
OF Shane Victorino
OF Brad Hawpe
Util Mark Reynolds
BN Michael Cuddyer
BN Matt Wieters

SP Javier Vazquez
SP Chad Billingsley
RP Joe Nathan
RP Michael Wuertz
P Frank Franscisco
P J.P. Howell
P Leo Nunez
BN Zack Greinke
BN Randy Wells
BN Jon Lester
DL Johan Santana
DL Chad Qualls

What I'm thinking for keepers right now:
1B Justin Morneau
2B Ian Kinsler
3B Mark Reynolds
OF Ichiro Suzuki
OF Shane Victorino
SP Chad Billingsley
SP Jon Lester
SP Johan Santana
SP Zack Greinke

I'm not really sure on the tenth spot, I was thinking maybe either Javier Vazquez or Joe Nathan or possibly even Yunel Escobar seeing as shortsops are at a premium for the most part in fantasy.

I welcome any and all help I can get in regards to who these 8 to 10 players should be. Leave a link and I'll help with yours as well.

Thanks for the help

I would go with

Justin Morneau
Ian Kinsler
Mark Reynolds
Matt Wieters
Ichiro Suzuki

Chad Billingsly
Joe Nathan
Zack Greinke
Johan Santana
Jon Lester


If you don't feel likekeeping 5 pitchers I would substitute Jon Lester for either Brad Hawpe or Shane Victorino (depending if you want power or speed more). Joe Nathan IMO is a elite closer second to Mariano Rivera. I like Matt Wieters as a potential breakout catcher next season and catcher is one of the hardest positions to find talent, unlike Outfield and Pitchers where there are a abundance of talent.

I would go with Morneau, Kinsler, Ichiro, Johan, Lester, Billingsley, Vazquez, Greinke, and Nathan. I don't know about your league, but Vazquez is around the op-15 range this year, and delievers a LOT of Ks.

The only problem in keeping Vasquez is that he is going to be 33 next seasaon and has been a career .500 pitcher

Go 5 and 5, IMO those are your 10 best players. Im not big on keeping closers, just too inconsistent and don't offer up value each day of the week. Then i would go after all bats with the top 4-5 picks in your draft, grab a couple closers then fill out your rotation, unless a big time SP value pick is around in the top couple. You have a very strong 5 pitch herd going into the draft and just need to fill out your bats. I would of course target a SS first round and then a C before going after other bats, but again if value is there take it in a heartbeat. Good Luck!
