Keeper Help

[SweepTheLeg]

Hello.

I have a keeper question, as is typical this time of year!
My 15 team league keeps 6 players, we are standard 5x5 roto and there are no special penalties (loss of draft picks etc) for keeping players. If a player chooses to keep less than 6 players then they may draft in a supplemental draft before the regualr draft. I am not in danger of entering the supplemental draft this year, in fact I had to trade away Broxton and Cliff Lee for draft picks already because I had too many keepers.

Now, I know four of my keepers:
Fielder
Braun
Longoria
Cano.

I can keep two of the following three players, who do I keep? I seem to be allright at power with my keepers so far but might I need to keep a speedster (figgins). I never seem to do too well drafting pitching so do I keep two pitchers? Keeping pitchers has bckfried on me in the past......
Figgins
Hanson
Peavy

thanks for the advice

Figgins/Hanson are the picks for me. I'm not as much of a buyer on Peavy at this point. Too risky.

Keep Hanson and Figgins.

Thanks for the advice. I'll probably do that.

Another option that just occurred to me would be to keep neither and then enter the supplemental draft. Draft order is determined randomly and while it is likely that 5 to 10 teams will enter the draft I could likely get either Peavy or Figgins back.....and if I get a good dice roll I might even have the option of getting a better player.

Perhaps I will propose a league rule that says you can't pick up the same player you didn't keep in the supplemental..........but it's too late for that this year and it's an intriguing option. Obviously I'd need to look around to see what other talent might be thrown back but what do you think? An intriguing gamble?

thanks

I'd have to agree on Hanson for sure. I'm not a terribly huge Figgins fan, but better to take a guy you know what you're getting with than a guy coming off of surgery. As you said, pitching is always more difficult to project as keepers than hitters are anyway.
Go with Figgins and Hanson.
