Need to keep four, advice please!

Postby octagon999 » Wed Sep 16, 2009 9:26 pm

Our 12 team league keeps 4.

Here is my current roster:

Montero
Derrick Lee
Kinsler
Rollins
Sandoval
Zobrist
Ethier
Kemp
Beltran
Manny Ramirez
Abreu
D Span

Pitchers (tho I don't expect I'll keep any)
Blanton
Lester
Tommy Hanson (the most tempting)
Niemann
Feldman
Hamels
Smoltz

F Morales
Cordero
M Rivera
Hoffman
Frasor
Sherrill

Would love to hear everyone's ideas!

I would say its out of Kemp/Sandoval/Rollins/Kinsler and then Tommy Hanson. Beltran to me is well done my friend as is Manny. I always like the younger players because you can keep them longer. I need some keeper advice too...I appreciate it

Kemp and Kinsler are locks. On the others, it's a tough call, but I think you keep Pablo to fill 3B (very shallow going into next year IMO), over Rollins and then go with Beltran hoping he still has a .300/90/25/100/15 season left in him. If not, then you go with Hanson. Has the look of an absolute stud for next year barring any setbacks/injuries.

Kinsler
Sandoval
Kemp
Hanson


-Beltran was a tough cut, but Kemp clearly has more upside right now. Kinsler is a must-keep, as is Kemp. Sandoval looks to be really good at 3B and it's good to have a solid corner infielder. I also suggest keeping at least one SP, and Hanson is that guy.

Who should I keep? viewtopic.php?t=397392

Kinsler and Kemp are your surefire keepers. I'm a big fan of position scarcity, and I think JRoll turned it on well enough the latter part of the year to justify keeping him one more time. I'm unsure what to think of Beltran as well, and am weighing him out as one of my own options. The Mets were really awful this year, and no one knows how detrimental that park will be to his offensive numbers, since he was hurt for a long time and his team crumbled around him. Not to mention he's getting up there in age (Rollins is a SS, so I've overlooked that). I'd give Tommy Hanson a look, he's going to be a stud, and likely sooner than later.
