Keeper Opinions...

Postby Darth Danielus » Fri Feb 12, 2010 4:01 am

Just getting back into the 'swing' of fantasy baseball.....haven't really thought much about it, but I have to make my keeper picks within the next few days....6x6 yahoo roto....We keep 3 hitters for as long as we want ("franchise"), and 2 just for next year ("veteran"), and the same for pitchers...

Who would you keep out of the following

Batters:

Julio Borbón (Tex - LF)
Jay Bruce (Cin - LF,CF,RF)
Rajai Davis (Oak - CF)
Adrián González (SD - 1B)
Carlos González (Col - LF,CF,RF)
Hideki Matsui (LAA - LF)
Álex Rodríguez (NYY - 3B)
Ichiro Suzuki (Sea - CF,RF)
Juan Uribe (SF - 2B,3B,SS)
Chase Utley (Phi - 2B)
Shane Victorino (Phi - CF)

Pitchers:

Homer Bailey (Cin - SP)
Matt Cain (SF - SP)
Frank Francisco (Tex - RP)
Jair Jurrjens (Atl - SP)
CC Sabathia (NYY - SP)
Johan Santana (NYM - SP)
Joe Saunders (LAA - SP)
Huston Street (Col - RP)
José Valverde (Det - RP

Off the top of my head, I'm guessing arod, utley and .....maybe bruce for franchise? With ichiro and a-gonz for just next year....Sabathia, cain, santana for franchise pitchers....and maybe two closers for vets? Closers tend to be scarce in our league....people tend to hoard.

Thoughts? Will help in return if I can...

Thanks.

Thanks...

Basically my thoughts -- but I've been labouring over who to franchise between bruce and gonzalez. I usually don't like to be tied down with 1B, cuz its a 10 team league and there are always enough to go around it seems (more or less.) And bruce being so young and with such a high ceiling -- seems like a waste just to have him for next year.... Not sure what to do.

I love Bruce, but you got to tie up the better player in Gonzalez. He's Fielder out of Petco.
