Keeper Question: Pick 3 from Utley, Kemp, Lincecum & M-Cab

Postby reggie452 » Tue Mar 09, 2010 5:43 pm

I'm in a 6x6 (we include OPS & WHIP) keeper league, and I can keep 3 of the 4 players:

Chase Utley
Matt Kemp
Miguel Cabrera
Tim Lincecum

Who would you keep, and why?

Thanks!

Lincecum, Utley and Kemp.

That would be the best choice to me.
But You really cant go wrong with any combination.

I think you can make a case of replacing Kemp with MCab w/ position scarcity, but I would most likely wind up exactly as above.

Cabrera
Kemp
Lincecum

You could keep Utley over Lincecum, but Utley is the oldest, so his decline comes 1st.

Utley
Kemp
Mcab

Easy choice, but it sucks to throw Lincecum away.

I'd go with M-Cab, Kemp, and Utley. The first two are easy, given that M-Cab and Kemp are really starting to hit full stride with their careers. I'd still go with Utley over Timmy, given OPS as an added category and it's H2H. Tough to let Timmy go in a keeper though.

I would 1000% keep Utley, Kemp and MCab. I agree, it sucks to let Lince go in a keeper league, but you cannot return any of those 3 hitters to the player pool, that would be insane.

I think it would also be somewht crazy to let the #1 pitcher back into the draft pool. I would keep Lincecum, Kemp and Utley

Utley, Lincecum and MCAB this is easy to me. You don't throw back, depending on who you talk too, the #1 or #2 SP in all of baseball. If you want to keep Kemp I would let Utley go, depending on where you draft you may get back who you don't keep. All depends on who else is let go, but in a 3 keeper league there will be talent there when it comes time to draft.
