Keeper Conundrum. WHIR

Postby Jarcaines » Mon Mar 08, 2010 12:56 pm

LEAGUE:
14 Team, ESPN, head to head, points. Max. of 5 keepers, for each keeper you skip a round of the draft.

POSSIBLE KEEPERS:
Ian Kinsler, Tex 2B
Grady Sizemore, Cle CF
Lance Berkman, Hou 1B
Aramis Ramirez, ChC 3B
Derrek Lee, ChC 1B
Carlos Quentin, CWS LF
Adam Wainwright, StL SP
Javier Vazquez, NYY SP
Johan Santana, NYM SP
Jonathan Broxton, LAD RP

So, here is my problem. I am 100% sure I am going to keep Kinsler and Sizemore, but after that I am not sure what to do. I like Berkman and Ramirez's chances of big years, but depending on what the other teams do for their keepers, I might be able to pick them up later. As for the pitching, I like the prospects of all three of the starters, but I have reservations about keeping pitching at all, and between the three, I am have a hard time deciding which I value the most. To me, they are all borderline keepers in this format. As for Broxton, Lee, and Quentin, I really don't plan on keeping any of them in any circumstance, unless someone has a really good argument for why I should. Do you think it might be best just to keep Kinsler and Sizemore and get to draft fairly early?

We are selecting our keepers before the draft, and the selections will be public knowledge, so I will probably just have to wait and see what other people are doing, but I would like to be prepared to make that decision fast. Let me know what you guys would do.

Thanks!

Wainwright for sure, then wait and see. Keep an eye on what the 3B market does. If a lot get kept, then you may want to think about keeping Aramis to lock up 3B. However, that may also mean you can get him back easier, depends on your risk tolerance. Wainwright provides across the board production and is still hitting his prime. I don't really think I would consider keeping anyone else, unless you're sold on Santana to bust out again.
