Keepers Help

Postby adeehr » Sun Jan 03, 2010 6:20 pm

I'm looking at my team and want some advice from you guys on keepers. I really want to keep some young guys from my list, but also want as much cheap help as I can get.

Roto
8x5 (hitting extras are 1b, 2b, 3b)
Auction Style, minimum $2 keeper value ($260 cap)

Here's my list of players I'm debating keeping. I can keep up to 5. This is by no means in any order.

Pablo Sandoval $2 (no doubt keeper)
Gordon Beckum $2 (i'm thinking of keeping him for 2b)
Jason Bay $3
Juan Rivera $2
Brad Hawpe $2
Justin Smoak $2
Buster Posey $2
Curtis Granderson $2
Adrian Gonzalez $20
Matt Holiday $24
Tim Lincecum $10
Ubaldo Jimenez $2
Matt Cain $12
Neftali Feliz $2


Like I said I can keep 5.

My initial 4 are:
Lincecum
Sandoval
Beckum
Jimenez

Then I'm debating between:
Granderson
Smoak
Posey

Does anyone have any other opinions on what I should do? Or maybe suggest others besides the 4 I have listed for sure above? I'm not set in stone, except Lincecum and Sandoval.

I like Granderson over Bay because of the steals.

Love Feliz at that price, but he probably won't go for full value if you dump him back.

I like these four... but before I name a fifth... a lot of these auction values seem really, really low... is there a reason? I'd not use the fifth slot for a pitcher considering it's 8x5. I'd probably look to keep AGon as long as he's not overpriced compared to the rest of the league... if he's a bad value compared to the rest of the league I'd then keep Posey.

Hey Bob, the values on these guys are so low because they are almost all pickups during the season or $1 drafties. Some guy in the league dropped Sandoval after the first slow week, after he paid $14 for him. Gonzalez is at about his value in the draft, so I'm not thinking he'll be that valuable as a keeper, as I can get him for around the same value, but it's always good to have that production on my team.
