Need Some Keeper Help!

[X-Factor611]

im going in to the 3rd year of a keeper league. I inherited this team last year, and made some significant changes via trades and the waiver wire. When i took over this team I wasnt playing for 2009, i was building for 2010 and surprisingly finished in 4th last year.

My dilemma is we can keep 9 players (4 hitters 4 pitcher and 1 wild card). Im seeing if we can bring it down to 7 as 9 seems like too many. My clear cut offensive keepers are...
1B-Mark Teixeira
2B-Chase Utley
SS-Troy Tulowitzki
3B-Alex Rodriguez

But i also have the following potential keepers as well...
Kendry Morales
Michael Bourn
Torii Hunter
Shane Victorino
Jorge Posada

My pitching is my week point. I have Josh Beckett and a bunch of fillers...should i look to deal my offensive players i cant keep for any pitching? I also thought of possibly offering a Tulo & Morales & Posada for Hanley and Aubrey Huff? am i not giving enough in that deal?

are your keepers based on round drafted? I'd consider keeping Wright. I'm a bit confused as to what the team you list below is.

sorry...that team below is in a different league. and the keepers have no correlation to the round they were drafted...we keep 9, then we get 15 picks (rounds 1-9 = keepers 10-24 = rest of draft). Drafting from worst to first based on the final standings.

Keep Beckett and Bourn. Obviously upgrading to Hanley is a great move if the other guy is for the trade.

you need to make a trade for depth. you need to give up tex or arod and a questionable keeper... for 3 players including pitching.
