Keeper Selection Help - (Beckham, Borbon or Abreu)

Postby djfrustration » Wed Mar 10, 2010 1:09 pm

Need to bounce this off some people to see if I'm not missing something. I have 10 Keeper Eligible players that I need to reduce to 5 actual Keepers by the end of the day.

Out of my list of potential Keepers below, I'm leaning towards:
Reynolds, Mark 3B AR
Choo, Shin-Soo RF CLE
Jurrjens, Jair SP ATL
Kershaw, Clayton SP LA
Beckham, Gordon 3B CHW

Essentially, my debate has been between Beckham, Borbon or Abreu. Anyone have any thoughts?

Potential Keepers (Can keep 5 players for 4 more years):
Reynolds, Mark 3B ARI
Abreu, Bobby RF ANA
Choo, Shin-Soo RF CLE
Beckham, Gordon 3B CHW
Borbon, Julio CF TEX
Broxton, Jonathan RP LA
Jurrjens, Jair SP ATL
Lilly, Ted SP CHC
Kershaw, Clayton SP LA
Matsuzaka, Daisuke SP BOS

11-Team MLB Rotisserie Keeper League
Scoring:
Hitters (5)
OBP, HR, R, RBI, SB
Pitchers (5)
ERA, K, S, W, WHIP
Roster Limits: C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, CI, MI, 4OF, 2U, 6SP, 3RP, 4Bench, 2DL

Honestly I would keep Broxton over Jurrjens as Jurrjens' shoulder may flare up again during the season.
I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!

Out of the 3 I'd keep Beckham, he becomes 2B eligible this season.

I'm leaning toward Beckam but Abreu is very consistent and is sure to not hurt your team (Beckham is still a big question mark)

I would drop Jurrjens for Broxton but if you want to keep a bat that will at least be useful, Abreu is the choice over Jurrjens (I prefer Broxton in a keeper even if he's a closer).

Beckham is a must here.

Thanks for the help.

As to the logic behind not keeping Broxton, he was only 12th in the league when it comes to Saves. I see no other reason in my league's settings to target RP's besides Saves. Jurjjens on the other hand was 7th in ERA and 4th in QS and has the potential to increase his K's this year.

I'm probably going with Beckham but am entertaining Abreu just a little bit more. If anyone has a better argument for Abreu and his ability to continue production at his ripe old age of 36 I'd love to hear it.
