Quite the myriad of responses... I appreciate all of your thoughts!

Oddly enough, the five I had long been planning to keep (Pujols, Crawford, VMART, Votto, Bay) wasn't tossed oout there until the eighth response!

Lots of love for Beckham here, which I totally understand. To have a middle infielder for years to come would be beyond sweet. My thought is that he's going around the mid-eighties ADP-wise, and is ranked (bizarrely) somewhere in the mid 130's in the Yahoo O-Ranking. My first two picks (including the 60 keepers in our league) are #70 and #75. Would I be foolish to keep Bay and hope those first nine pass on GBeck?

Got to take AM over Vmart, and the demands of catching.

McCutchen is 23, Bay 32, Vmart 31.

AM is projected already over VMart, and only $2 behind Bay. Beckham at 24, is only $1 behind VMart. At years end, you will kick yourself for keeping Bay/VMart over Beckham and AM.

I would agree with this. I was flipping back and forth between VMart and AM. I would take AM easily over Bay.
