pick 2 of 4 keepers

Postby PnutsCrckrJx » Tue Mar 09, 2010 8:44 pm

10 team roto, 6x6, with OPS being the extra batting category...

I would be able to keep these keepers for as long as i wanted (only 2)

Teixeira
Longoria
Justin Upton
Tulowitzki

thanks

Longoria's the gimme.

Then, it's Tulo v. Upton. For me, it's very, incredibly close, but I think I take Tulo in an OPS league. That's a heckuva advantage over most guys.

Do offer the both to the Hanley owner first, though, right?

Yeah I definitely feel Longoria is one of my keepers...Teixeira may have the best year of them all, but the upside of a Tulo or Upton is intriguing, plus they are young and I could have a pretty sweet core to my team for awhile....and 1st base is pretty deep

Oh, Tex is a first rounder in redrafts again this year. But he's not hanging out in this crowd ;)

Tulo and Upton both deserver being kept here; I went for SS over the speed of Upton. This will get tonnes of votes either way.

For me, I'd make a run at Hanley. Why not?

Any way you could package up 2 in a trade for an upgrade and go after Hanley?

Id keep Longoria and Upton though in a keeper.

I want reliability out of my top two keepers: it's Tex and Longoria for me. Tulowitzki is somewhat risky unless he can get out of the second half player pattern he had shown in '07 and '09. I love Upton's upside, but personally, I like the safe first round type production Tex provides.

Trade is obviously a nice pursuit. I think Tulo is short straw for me. I don't want him.

Longoria is yes. I like Tex more personally.... Some may go Upton.

I just feel Tulo isn't a peer of these. I want sure value and you have to like what you get in Longoria and Tex.
