I'm postive my three pitchers will be Greinke,Haren and Hanson.
Stuck on Reyes or Votto really now. Each has 4 votes in this thread. Probably going to take a risk on Reyes and hope to grab Votto with my first pick. Anyways firstbase should be easiler to fill.

I can't see going any other way w your pitching staff. Grienke, Hanson, Gollardo. The issue, as you have noted, comes down to your 3rd and final keeper. Personally, I'm not huge on Reyes, but you're in a similar situation that I face in my keeper league. You've got a top notch player at a thin position. 1st base is deep as ever, and if most of the rest of the teams are keeping a 1st baseman then you can virtually gaurantee yourself the ability to draft Sandoval or Votto with the 10th pick. Do you have an idea of what the other teams are keeping?
Is this more than a 1 year keeper league? I would keep Hanson over Haren perhaps if so.
Also, I might see if I could TRADE Holliday and keep the other 3 in question...maybe see if you can trade Holliday/Sandoval for Utley or something? Might not be possible.
Otherwise, I think you are right on with your thinking
