I plan on making a move to try and get Braun and possibly someone like Longoria or another high profile fantasy stud. If I'm unable to pull ANYTHING off, what 10 do I keep?

Thanks for the response...

Are you assuming that Dunn will maintain his average? What about Sandoval...

OF: Dunn
Util: Pujols
Util: Ellsbury
SP: Lincecum

SP: Verlander
P: Gallardo
B: J. Vazquez

*** I would decide between one of these two to drop. Probably Berkman, though. I am not a fan of keeping that many SPs, but these five are ranked #3, #29, #22, #101, and #14 overall by Yahoo. That would have to be one of, if not, the best pitching staffs going into the season, as well as great trade bait.

Gallardo

With those 4 starters you should dominate pitching, and that leaves you some wiggle room for ineffectiveness from one of them or injury (since both aren't out of the question for pitchers).

Dunn was my tough cut, but given the pop you should get from all of your keepers but Ellsbury, I don't see any reason for keeping Dunn who is posting a way out of line BA considering his still through the roof k-rate. I'd expect a BA around .260 or so next year, and he doesn't run at all. Ellsbury brings nothing to the table power wise, but his SB's along with Kinsler and Beltran's mean you should only need a few guys to "chip in" next year to win the category regularly. While there is a lot of risk in keeping Sandoval (given he has no track record, and his body type is bad), his contact rate is awesome, he is still young and has yet to enter the typical power "prime" years, and he has the added benefit of possibly gaining C eligiblity next year if the Giants don't bring back Molina and opt to have him backup Posey next year possibly. If not his 3B eligibility is nice enough anyways.

Help with mine if you don't mind?

SP: Lincecum
SP: Sabathia

P: Gallardo

This is who I would go with as well. You could go Vazquez over Gallardo, but they'll be similar and Gallardo is younger. Sandoval was tough to leave off, but Berk and Carlos healthy is too good to pass up.

First and foremost, thanks to all that have helped so far!

I traded for Jon Lester and a 3rd rounder and I gave up Javier Vazquez and Ricky Nolasco...

I was more interested in the draft pick than anything, but I'm thinking I also have to now keep Lester correct?
