Keepers in a h2h league-WHIR

[btb2007]

I've posted about this before, but I've been doing some thinking and have some new ideas about my keeper options. It's a 10 team mixed h2h points league (scoring in sig), where we get keepers three rounds prior to their draft position the year before. We can keep up to 3. I'm playing with a couple of strategies and I'm wondering what you all think...

The guys I'm considering are:
Nelson Cruz-13th round
Scott Baker-15th
Derrek Lee-17th
Rick Porcello-14th
Brett Anderson-12th


Strategy 1: Keep the three with the best value for this year
If I go this route, I'd keep Cruz, Lee, and Baker.

Strategy 2: Keep three pitchers
In my format, pitching depth is huge. The quality of pitchers available on the waiver wire is low, and we set our lineups weekly so 2-start pitchers are important. If I do this, I'd keep Anderson, Baker, and Porcello. That way, I'd have three good pitchers to build up my depth. I'd draft hitters early and often. I usually don't go after the big ace pitchers early anyway, so I'd add some 2nd tier pitcher to this group. I think I could form a really good team with this strategy. Plus, Anderson and Porcello offer some long-term keeper potential. Also, there are a lot of good pitchers who are going to be kept.

Strategy 3: Combine the first 2 strategies
Here I might do something like Anderson or Porcello, Cruz, and Lee.

Thoughts? And of course WHIR

Or I could just keep nobody and start from scracth.

Baker doesn't have nearly the upside of Anderson or Porcello.

Go with the two young pitchers plus Cruz.

cruz and porcello without a doubt...i honestly dont know bout the other, and dont wanna just say one for the sake of saying itlol

[btb2007]

I don't have to keep 3, so 2 would be ok.

[The Artful Dodger]

I'd go with Cruz and Anderson for sure. Lee is not bad for a discount, but I'd go with Porcello for the last spot.

[AshesOfEmpires]

Porcello and Cruz are in and Lee would be as well. I wouldn't mind grabbing him in the 17th in any draft.

[bmo118]

I would go with Cruz, Porcello and Lee. Lee in the 17th round is pretty good value.

Cruz, Porcello and Lee. However, I'd look at Baker too. The Twins (on paper anyway) should put a better team around him than last year.
