I have the 8th overall pick in a 12 team keeper league. Our categories are AVG OBP K R HR RBI SB for hitters and IP W S K/9 ERA WHIP for pitchers so it is a little bit different than a standard league. My keepers are:
Justin Upton
Hanley Ramirez
Ryan Zimmerman
Joey Votto
Joe Mauer
Matt Kemp
Brandon Webb (Ugh!)
I am a firm believer of a dominant lineup to get me into the playoffs. There are a few teams that have kept tons of pitchers following me in the draft so I am thinking of adding another hitter first round but let me know if that is a bad idea.
Here are the players I think will be there at 8. Who should I take? Should I add to my lineup? I am confident I can get 3 solid pitchers later but Beckett's consistency or Anderson's upside will probably be hard to find.
Lance Berkman, Carlos Lee, Brian Roberts, Andre Ethier, Kendry Morales, Hunter Pence, Josh Beckett, Brett Anderson
I've been leaning towards Berkman because of the OBP. Beckett and Anderson won't be there in the 2nd but possibly a Vazquez, Nolasco, or Scherzer will be. I think the mashers will be gone. Please give me your opinion! Thanks!
