Help with 12th keeper??? whir

Postby Elsy » Thu Jan 28, 2010 8:33 pm

Yahoo H2H Keeper (finished 5th last year):

1. Roy Halladay
2. Tim Lincecum
3. Prince Fielder
4. Aaron Hill
5. Nelson Cruz
6. Aramis Ramirez
7. Brian McCann
8.Michael Young
9. Garrett Jones
10. Jonathan Broxton
11. A.J. Burnett
12. Brandon Webb/Mark Buehrle/Casey McGehee/Jacoby Ellsbury

No round restrictions or anything like that, just the 12 you want to keep.

Keep Webb and Ellsbury and toss Garrett Jones back. Jones has no track record at all, and has a lot of proving to do. Even with Webb coming back from injury, I'd take my chances on his return to ace material as opposed to taking a gamble on a guy with a mediocre minor league track record who blew up.

Ellsbury is a no brainer. I would keep Webb as well and throw Jones back.

I also agree with the others...

Keep Ellsbury and Webb. Jones seemed to have come out of nowhere last season and he surprised allot. I would rather take my chances with some more proven players...Webb, even with the injury, and Ellsbury and maybe try to pick Jones back in the draft if you have a chance. if not then no great loss..

Might you help with mine..

ELLSBURY!!!!!!! He is arguably your #1 keeper of all those you listed, but no way lower than #3. I agree with above, drop Garrett or M. Young and keep Webb, he will rebound very nicely this year.

I can tell you what I think, but it would just be redundant.

I'd definitely keep Ellsbury. But, I too, would keep Webb and throw Jones back. Even if he duplicates his season last year, I wouldn't keep him as a keeper. Ellsbury is way, way more valuable.

Here are your keepers, and I reranked them for you:
1) P.Fielder
2) T.Lincecum
3) J.Ellsbury
4) R.Halladay
5) Ar.Ramirez
6) B.McCann
7) A.Hill
8) N.Cruz
9) M.Young -- but you already have a 3b, I would try to trade him
10) B.Webb
11) J.Broxton
12) AJ Burnett

If you have the option to keep less than 12, I would throw back AJ Burnett or try to trade him, and draft from other teams' leftovers because they are probably better than AJ Burnett.
