1, Pujols, 1B ----Yes 6, Kemp, OF ---- Yes 15, M.Cabrera, 1B ---- Yes, and I just traded him for Longoria(3B) 24, Sizemore, OF ---- Yes 30, Morales, 1B ---- ??? 38, McCann, C ---- yes 43, BJ Upton, OF ---- ???
So the last decision is among Morales/BJUpton/Hamels. - Morales played the best last season, but I have Pujols at 1B, still have a UTIL spot tho - BJUpton completely sucked last season, rebound year? We do have 3 OF spots - Hamels also sucked last year... can never have too many good SP I guess?
I'd say Morales, but I would then try to trade for a MI player, preferably a young 2B.. If you'd rather not try that route, just go with Upton, he has a lot of upside.

I'd keep Upton over Morales but not by a whole lot. I'd keep either guy over Hamels (and in fact I just traded for Morales in one league and kept him over Hamels, so there). As far as Hamels goes I wouldn't keep him here, but I'd probably look to pick him back up in the draft if possible (which I did in the league where I dropped him to keep Morales).
My only problem with Upton is that he ruffes my SAGNOF sensibilities being ranked so high. If his bat doesn't get better he may end up being not a whole lot better than a guy like Andrus or the Dread Pirate McCutchen, who can both be had for way less (6 or 7 HRs and 20 RBIs over a guy like Borbon isn't much when the difference is 150 slots on my draft board). At least not enough better to make up the difference in percieved value. I'd still keep him over Morales, but I'm not sure I'd be 100% happy about it. Obviously his value is predicated on a rebound year and a return to 20+ HRs ect ect, and for the sakes of people investing late 3rd round value in him I hope that pans out.
Man, between Upton and Morales, that's a tough one, I think you keep them both over Hamles though. I would probably lean towards Morales, I think people over value Upton a bit. Although, if you plan on trading them that might be a good thing.
