Deadline Keeper Decision!

Agree 100% with the post above. I almost always like keeping a hitter over a pitcher if their relative value is about the same, but dont think thats the case with Zobrist vs Johan. If you've already ruled Markakis out I think you gotta go with Johan. There's a decent chance Zobrist will fall back to you but even if not, I dont think there'd be a pitcher with Johan's potential value with your next pick if you go the other route.

Santana though it depends on your league. Santana has the upside but also has the injury concerns. For example, my league tends to go hitting-heavy with keepers. Most teams keep 1 pitcher (6 total) and a few keep 0. So, it also depends on what the options will look like but I agree, it's doubtful that a pitcher of Santana's upside is available in the re-draft portion

Why is everyone so high on Ben Zobrist? He had a nice year, but it was definitely an outlier to his career numbers, and in his 28 year old season. If he were 4 years younger, maybe it would be time to get a little excited, but a .270-75-17-75-15 season is more likely than a repeat of last year in my opinion.

I don't love Santana, and I normally go hitters over pitchers, but I am not high on Zobrist at all. When you have only 4 keepers, you need all of them to produce if you want to win, and I think that Zobrist is too risky.
