Tough Keeper? WHIR

[dave knight]

:-? I was not leaning towards either Hamilton or Wieters.

I think Ellsbury will score more points than Hamilton and frankly I do not think Hamilton is durable enough. I was also considering rollins because SS is not very deep.

I understand the Wieters love, but not so much on Hamilton. Ellsbury has flaws but if steals give you a lot of points (check last year's rankings for the league leaders in points for your settings) then he is a no-brainer. Hamilton looks like more of a flash in the pan so I wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole next year unless it's a value selection.

I think Ellsbury is a no-brainer. He is a steady points machine in points leagues.

After that, it depends on a number of factors. I like Johnson a little better as a keeper over Hamels. However, that would give you a lot of keeper pitchers. This might not be a bad thing, as you could focus on hitting in the early rounds of the draft.

I am too scared to keep Hamilton and I believe Rollins is on the decline. Wieters is a good choice. Beckham would be an interesting keeper depending on the size of your league. 2b eligibility could make him a hot item down the road.

I think I would rank your keepers:
1. Ellsbury
2. Johnson
3. Wieters
4. Beckham/Rollins/Hamilton/Hamels

I'd go with Ellsbury for sure with the bonus for SB's, and I think I'd go with Wieters for my second keeper.

That is a really tough decision... but I'm really high on Beckham and his 2B eligibility will help this year.

I'd go Ellsbury and Beckham, but can't blame you if you went Wieters over Beckham.
Beckham will take Utley's #1 spot at 2B in the next 2 years imho and Wieters will probably be #2 after Mauer in a few years...

Just wanted to see if I could get a couple more opinions before I turn my keepers in at the end of the week.

It looks like these are the most popular picks:
Wieters
Ellsbury
Rollins
Beckham
Josh Johnson
Hamels
Hamilton

So which 2 from the above should I go with? You can disregard the years. H2H 12 team points
league. Typical scoring (eg 1b=pt, hr=4pt, sb=2pts); (innings=2pts, k's=1pt...)

thanks and leave your links if you need help.

very tough keeper-however I feel your pitching is great and you do not need any help in this area-My first definate would be Beckham and I would way on Weiters. These are definate keeper material and you have some other possiblity with Ellsbury (however I would pick up cheaper sb later in the draft). Rollins has been going down in hr and avg and I feel that Beckham will almost do as good if not better this year and take off next year.

Hope it helps!!!

It is a very tough decision. I would definitely keep Ellsbury for the SB bonus. I think I would have to go with Rollins over the rest just because of the shallow position, I think he will rebound nicely.
