Hey man, thanks for the help with mine. I would def keep Kinsler and Miguel Cabrera. I am torn between Justin Upton and Greinke. I usually would tell you not to keep a pitcher, just because they can be great one year and shaky the next, however Greinke is different. I also love Justin Upton, he is a terrific young player who should only get better from year to year. That being said I would keep Greinke. He is a true ace and I think he will replicate his 2009 performance next season. It will be nice to have him hold down the top of your rotation and he is a great building block for any fantasy pitching staff. If he gets dealt to a winning team his value will skyrocket!

Greinke's not going anywhere fwiw. Why do you think he's going to replicate his performance? Not that I'm a Greinke nay-sayer, but I'm curious as to your position on him especially taking him over Upton who appears to be putting it all together.

Greinke has thrown more innings then he has ever in his career for a terrible franchise. I wouldn't touch him in the 1st or 2nd rounds of a non-keeper league which is where J-up will go.

M-Cab
Kinsler
J-Up

In a 3 keeper H2H league I would have a very hard time keeping any pitcher except for Lincecum. I like Greinke but Upton is just too tough to pass up here.

Help?

Would none of you hear any arguments for Tulowitzki, given how shallow shortstop is? He's still incredibly young, gives you power at a position where it's the most premium, and his offensive numbers will never disappoint when he plays all year in Coors. His play this 2nd half has been incredible, and if he can just have an average start to next season instead of an utterly abysmal one, I think the argument between him and Upton is much, much closer than anyone else has said.

That being said, Miggy and Kinsler are indeed surefire keepers. I think given the breadth of outfielders available who produce year in and year out, I'd again, just consider Tulo, and perhaps Greinke. I may just be too high on middle infield scarcity. Good luck, I certainly wish my 12 teamer had your difficulty :-)
