Can Keep Up to 8...Tough Choices!

[floyd1313]

My team, which has been at the top two years running, is losing steam. Beltran killed me. Thinking I need an overhaul and get some youthful talent on my roster. I can keep 8, but will likely keep only 5 or 6. Beyond my obvious keepers, who would you keep? 12-team H2H.

Keepers:
Miguel Cabrera
Prince Fielder
Tim Lincecum
Brandon Phillips

No Sure:
Nelson Cruz
Nolasco
Beltran
Pence
McClouth
Cain

Cruz and Nolasco the intriguing ones. Beltran is always good if healthy.

Who would you keep in addition to my top 4?

What do you give up by keeping more versus keeping less?

I like Nolasco to be big this year, and Cain should be solid. I'd consider keeping them both. I like Cruz and Pence a lot, as well. If you're looking to keep fewer, maybe just keep one of the 2 SP and one of the 2 OF. If you do that, I'd keep Cain and Cruz.

I would keep Cruz for sure. If you gain draft picks by keeping less, I'd consider stopping there. I really do like Nolasco as well and I'd say he's worth keeping and then, just leave it at those six.

I did not mention Elvis Andrus in that list. Where does he stand? Should he be kept?

Right now contemplating 8 guys to keep...any suggestions would be very helpful:

Fielder
Miguel Cabrera
Lincecum
Phillips
Nelson Cruz
Nolasco
Cain
Andrus
