Keep Rollins, Werth, or V-Mart? WHIR

[Geek]

We keep three in this league--standard 12 team 5X5 yahoo roto except OPS instead of batting average.

My two no-brainer keepers are A-Rod and Matt Kemp.

Then it gets real dicey.

I think I may like Werth the best out of the three, but I despise the idea of essentially 'drafting' outfielders with 2 out of my first three picks.

V-Mart had a great year last year and is in that great Boston lineup, and he mashed for them after the trade.

Rollins was horribly painful to own last year, but he did hit 21 HRs with 30+ sbs. And SS' got a lot leaner with Reyes's issues. I swore I would never draft him again during the first half of the year.

My brain tells me Rollins, my heart tells me Werth, but right now I'm leaning towards V-Mart.

Help!

I'd go Rollins, with VMart a close 2nd. Great value at shallow positions.

Rollins. VMart numbers are better when he is a 1B or DH, they drop when he catches.

I'd go with Rollins. SS gets really thin, really quick. Much more depth in the OF. As for Martinez, there are lots of other 1st basemen I'd rather have, and several catchers that will end up with numbers close enough to him.

I agree on Rollins. He's got more potential than V-Mart at the thin position.

Rollins. Knowing what he is capable of at the SS position, and knowing if he returns to the norm what kind of production he'll put up in that line-up, you can't pass on that.

I agree with rollins, ss is so shallow this year especially with reyes' health being up in the air

I was struggling with V-Mart as well in my keeper league, but it concerns me that he'll be playing so many games behind the plate (which he hasn't done in years)

Rollins.

Even though people are more scared on V-Mart than I've ever seen this year in this thread, I'm not buying it.

I'm just thinking it's easier to get a catcher late than a SS, and with OPS in, I don't want the SS fliers later in drafts who tend to be uniformly fluffy legs: Escobar, Andrus, the Cabreras .... and so forth. Iannetta/Soto/Montero later? That works.
