12 team mixed keeper. Standard 5x5 roto scoring I'm having trouble rounding out the rest of my keepers. Any help is greatly appreciated.
So far my keepers look like: C 1b Fielder 2b 3b Arod SS H Ramirez OF Crawford OF OF Util
SP: Felix, Cain, Jimenez
I need to keep 3 out of these 4: Carlos Lee, A Ethier, M Wieters, R Nolasco Im leaning towards Ethier, Nolasco, and Wieters. Reasons being: 1) I really like Nolasco. After Felix i dont have another true ace so i would like to have as many guys i can who could break out and post top numbers. I think Nolasco has the ability to do that. 2) Ethier had a better year than Lee and if he can improve vs LH'ers he has even more room to grow. 3) Lee's runs scored were very very bad this past season and i dont see it greatly improving next year. 4) Matt Wieters man crush. I dont want to throw him back and see him blow, even though Lee will prob post better numbers this year.
Any opinions? I will def help in return if you leave a link. Obviously i will try and make some deals but regardless of that who would you keep? Thanks in advance
I think it should be down to Lee or Either. Either is your best bet. He is younger and still has some growth potential. Where as Lee is on the down side of his career.

Lee, Ethier and Wieters for me. You're keeping 3 SP's already. I think Ubaldo breaks out even more and shows a top 15/10 type season. Lee is on the downside, but he can still put up decent numbers.
I'm keeping all 4 and tossing everyone's breakout star Ubaldo back in the pool, if can move him for a bat, then drop Weiters., but in no circumstances would I take Ubaldo over any of your other arms.
I like Lee a little bit better than Ethier, because he has a better power track record and I like the batting average better.
That said, I would keep Wieters, Lee, and Ethier since they are all quality offensive assets. Nolasco is underrated, but you could probably pick him up again in the draft.
It comes down to Lee and Nolasco for me for your last spot as I'd call Wieters/Ethier slam dunks. Ultimately I decided I'd keep Lee. You already have a great foundation with a 1 and two 2's IMO. Lee is a guy I'm not a huge fan of, but he's a consistant contributor in HR's, RBI's and BA, and at times has been a contributor in runs scored. It also comes down to me believing you'll be able to draft a pitcher who will post more similar numbers to Nolasco then a bat to Lee in the draft. Anyways, good luck.
