So, I'm pretty sure that I won't be able to make any trades, since everyone who has players I am interested in doesn't seem to respond to my offers.
Which 8 players would you keep? I'm trying to get an idea of which ones to go with for the upcoming season.
C Miguel Montero 1B Justin Morneau 2B Brandon Phillips 3B Ryan Zimmerman SS Jason Bartlett OF Adam Lind OF Adam Dunn OF Ben Zobrist Util Andre Ethier Util Nate McLouth Bench Miguel Tejada Bench Alexei Ramirez Bench Adam Jones
SP Roy Halladay SP Zack Greinke SP Chad Billingsley RP Joe Nathan RP Frank Francisco P Trevor Hoffman P Javier Vazquez P Peter Moylan Bench Homer Bailey Bench Scott Feldman Bench Jair Jurrjens Bench Wandy Rodriguez Bench Carlos Zambrano

The last spot is between Dunn/AJones/Nathan/Billingsley/Ethier. I just love Bills in a keeper.

I think it's safe to say that Morneau, Phillips, Zimmerman, Halladay, Greinke and Lind are pretty much locks for keepers, and then it comes down to the last two spots.
I'm a pitching-heavy manager, so Billingsley is an intriguing option...but I don't know if it's intriguing enough to lure me away from other players. On the other hand, Zobrist, Dunn, Ethier and Jones are also solid options.
I also have a flier out on Nathan, but only if I can make some deals and open up a spot.
Anyone else have any opinions? Keepers are due soon, so I need to narrow it down.
Right now I'm thinking on:
Roy Halladay Zack Greinke Brandon Phillips Justin Morneau Ryan Zimmerman Adam Lind Ben Zobrist
And then one of Joe Nathan or Chad Billingsley.
With those keepers, I'm pretty set offensively. I'd basically have my IF done since Zobrist should retain SS eligibility in Yahoo. Or I'll have 2 of 3 OF spots and can draft a SS. It would give me flexibility. And then pitching wise, i have two stud keepers in Greinke and Doc, and then it comes down to a 3rd SP whos young with upside, or a closer.
Some of the players already tossed back: Cole Hamels, Kendry Morales, Yunel Escobar, Brian Wilson, Bobby Jenks, Paul Konerko, Carlos Quentin, Derek Lowe, Lance Berkman
So some good talent already going back in. I draft 9th in a 10 team league so it could be slim pickings.
