This is a 12 team standard 5x5 H2H league. Last season we had 10 teams, but we're adding two more this year. All existing owners choose 7 players to keep, and then the two expansion teams get the first 14 picks of the draft. We will be keeping the league at 12 teams after this year, and there are no limits or rules concerning keepers other than pick 7. Here's my roster from last year, I bolded the first four that I consider to be the most obvious choices:
C A.J. Pierzynski 1B Joey Votto 2B Brandon Phillips 3B Kevin Youkilis SS Jimmy Rollins OF Ryan Braun OF Matt Holliday OF Andre Ethier UTIL Bobby Abreu BN Jay Bruce
SP Josh Johnson SP Matt Cain RP Jonathan Broxton RP Huston Street P Chad Billingsley P Rick Porcello P Clay Buchholz BN José Valverde BN Mike MacDougal BN Homer Bailey BN Brian Duensing

x3. It doesnt really matter that Bruce will be picked up by one of the expansion teams. So will JJ and Bills. JJ gives you the best chance of winning THIS year, bottom line.
+4. Seems like a pretty clear call to me, I'd also consider Bruce and Ethier but it doesn't really look like you'd need to keep them with those 7 you have.
