Here are my keepers:

C - Wieters
1B - Pujols
3B - Zimmerman
SS - Reyes
OF - Bruce
SP - Beckett
SP - Hanson

Got to decide on the last one. I get the second pick in every round of the draft.

I would think you have a better shot at getting Anderson back than you would getting Jones.

You can't keep anderson over jones.

Adam jones is a mid round pick, going in the 6-9th rounds....

Anderson is a late round flier guy, shows great promise but taken in the 15th round on....

no brainer you keep jones

Yes, you would be crazy to keep Anderson over Adam Jones. As was said earlier, you will have a much easier chance at getting Anderson back in the draft. Don't be crazy.

It would be risky but I prefer Anderson over Jones. The problems is that you are likely to get Anderson at a cheaper price than Jones. If you don't like Jones then I would think about shopping him to someone who might be willing to give up something a little more intriguing.

I don't think you'd be crazy, but I'd keep Jones over Anderson. I would also strongly consider re-drafting Anderson with the 2nd overall pick depending on what is available. I absolutely love Brett Anderson's GB rate, his second half K and walk rates as well. I really think he's a blossoming stud, but one that will be much easier to re-acquire via the draft. If you care to take the gamble, you may be able to get him in the 2nd round, but I'm a big enough believer in him I wouldn't pass on him at the 2nd overall pick.

Did you finish reading what I wrote. I prefer Anderson but you are more likely to get him back in the draft. But I don't think Adam Jones is going to justify a pick in the top 10 rounds. I just don't see him more than a 20HR 70 RBI .270 and 15 SB kind of guy. I'm sorry but I can find that on the WW. Just because he gets picked higher than Anderson doesn't mean that he is a better player. There are plenty of owners who take guys way to early because of hype only to get burned. Adam Jones falls into that category IMO.

The answer is yes, you are crazy. I'm very worried about Brett Anderson and his increase in workload from 2008-2009. I wouldn't be surprised if he struggles this season due to being overworked last year.

No, you're not crazy although I'd keep Jones. Personally, I'm not much of an Adam Jones fan but if he can muscle his way out of his groundball tendencies, he can push his power totals a bit. Consider me a Brett Anderson believer although the workload jump is still a considerable risk.
