Which 7 would you retain?

Postby fast dogs » Mon Oct 19, 2009 12:43 am

Kinsler
A Ram
Braun
Hamels
Verlander
McCutchen 12 HR 54 RBI 22 sb .286
N Cruz 33 HR 76 rbi 20 sb.259
J Lopez 25 HR 96 RBI .272
Shields
Helton
Neftali Feliz
Posts seem to be slacking a little bit right now so I'll offer up another 1. Really it comes down to 2 of the 3 I have stats listed. Standard 5x5 we start 4 OF,SS, 2nd & Middle Inf so do I take Lopez ahead of a 3rd OF?

then looking ahead, unless someone does something really stupid which usually doesn't happen, I'd be left with a 3rd SP(Felix) or a 4th OF (Sizemore) as the probable best players back into the draft as my 1st round pick:
Kinsler
A Ram
Braun
Hamels
Verlander
McCutchen
N Cruz
Felix or Sizemore for the next 5 years; as both have been kept 5 yrs and should be there for me to choose from

I wouldn't sweat those two picks. Felix wouldn't be your 3rd SP, he would become your ace. Sizemore would make you not have to rely on McCutchen all year in case he hits some bad spells.

yes, Felix would be the ace, but would be 3 SP in my 1st 8 players is what I was saying. I seem to collect SP & OF too early every year. I know alot of guys want just 1 SP in their 1st 9 or 10 players; Sizemore would be my 4th & final OF so I'd be travelling down a familiar path 1 way or the other again.Felix before Sizemore if it came to that?

I'd go with McCutcheon and Cruz...don't worry about playing a MI. Just take the best 2 players.

2b Kinsler
MI Lopez
3b A Ram
OF Braun, McCutchen
Hamels
Verlander

These 7. Eh I'd rather have Lopez over Cruz. I'm a bit concerned he gets traded.
