Keeper Question- Help appreciated

Postby Bartolo's Colon » Sun Feb 14, 2010 10:21 am

I am in a 12 team H2H points league and have the ability to keep 5 major leaguers and 2 minor leaguers. My first 4 keepers seem to be locks, but my fifth is a little up in the air. Help and any insight or other thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks.

1.) Fielder
2.) A. Rod
3.) Wright
4.) Braun

For the 5th keeper, I am thinking Adam unn.
I had been keeping Alfonso Soriano but I don't know what he has left.
My ace last year was Roy Oswalt- didn't work out so well.
Threw around trading for an ace but teams are reluctant and there are only a few starters that I feel are worth targeting that high.

5th keeper options:
Adam Dunn
Alfonso Soriano
Roy Oswalt
Jose Lopez
Mike Napoli
Jermaine Dye
Chris Davis
Garrett Jones
Stephen Drew
Nolasco
David Price
Andy Pettite
Ryan Doumit
F. Cordero/F. Francisco
Derek Holland
Joba Chamberlain

My minor leaguers are:
1.) Aroldis Chapman
2.) Matt LaPorta
-Kyle Blanks

Thanks for your help and WHIR.

I would consider keeping Price. I think he will take a nice step forward and in 2011 will be one of the top SP. If you think you can get him back in the draft fairly easily, then I would probably keep Dunn but in a keeper league I would think Price has pretty good value. Ricky Nolasco is intriguing and also might be a better pick than Dunn.

It depends on what the points system is, but I would lean to either Dunn or Nolasco.

I'd go with Dunn, in leagues where his avg can't really hurt you he's generally undervalued.

You have a great start with your 4 keepers, and I think it depends on whether or not there are any keeper costs and what you think will be available in the draft.
If a lot of SP's will be kept I'd go w Price, I think he's going to have a nice year and will be a great keeper for years to come. If you think there will be solid SP's available early then I'd keep Dunn, your power production would be second to none.
