Thanks guys

Those are the guys I think would be the best keepers. As for the 10th guy, I would decide between Victorino, A. Ramirez, Shield, and Santana. But, I keep looking at possibly keeping Bailey or Chris Davis. I mean, my keepers are fairly stacked, so would taking a risk with the 10th player, be that bad of a decision?

Really?

...Anyone?

Bailey

[chadam189]

I agree with your first 9, I think they are pretty much no-brainers.

You already have ~100 SB's between Upton (40), Grandy (15-20), Holliday (15), and Hanley (25-30). If you have Victorino, you'd have almost all of the SB's you need, and wouldn't have to worry about targeting those later in the draft. If you are REALLY worried about your 2B, I'd go Alexei, but Victorino is such a better value that I wouldn't consider letting him go.

Keeping Bailey over one of those hitters is nuts, and Santana has too many health concerns to warrant consideration.

I like Alexei here. Victorino is a good player, but you can replace his speed with a deeper pick. MI is pretty shallow, and with that many keepers, I'm not sure you'll do better than Alexei.
