I won the league last year which means I only get to keep 10 of 23 players. Of these free agents..which ONE player, would you target as a "must haves" in each tier?
Tier 1 - Roy Halladay Adam Wainwright Prince Fielder Ryan Howard Chase Utley Troy Tulo
Tier 2 - Jason Bay Justin Upton Jose Reyes Ryan Zimmerman Cole Hamels Yovani Gallardo Brian McCann
Tier 3 - Chad Billingsly Hunter Pence Francisco Cordero James Loney Brian Wilson

problem with doc is if you skip keeping a top SP the dropoff isn't as bad as the dropoff from say utley or tulo to other people at their positions

Utley. Prince and Tulo are nice, but the dropoff at 2B is much sharper in NL than in mixed, while it's the reverse for 1B and SS. Zimmerman over Upton, but it's so close I could go either way Billinsley, the rest aren't close
