Kinsler and Markakis OR Braun and Beckham WHIR

[teaaker]

We have 8 Keepers and I have Prince, Kinsler, Tulo, Longoria, MCab, Markakis, Kemp, and Wainwright.

Right now I am planning on not keeping Beckham unless I can do this trade. I believe that Braun/Beckham will be better now and longterm to Kinsler Markakis

Our categories are regular 5x5 with 2B and OBP added on.

Braun/Beckham, keep Beckham over Wainwright.

I feel like I need to keep at least one pitcher though to be competitive in pitching this year. I don't want to "punt" pitching.

If you do the trade then Beckham and Braun replace Kinsler/Markakis, so you wouldn't really need to keep Beckham over Wainwright anyway right? I'd also do that trade, Braun is too much to pass up.

This seems to make the most sense, assuming you can keep Beckham and Wainwright. Thanks for advice on mine.

I'd go with Beckham/Braun.

Kinsler's stud material for 2B slot, but I'm pretty high on Beckham and, in a keeper league, he's going to be pretty studly pretty quickly. Markakis is solid, but he's no Braun.. nor do I see him ever getting there. Beckham COULD be Kinser and I think that's the key. I don't see Markakis putting up Braun numbers; I do see Beckham putting up near-Kinsler numbers.
