J. Heyward in Keeper Draft

[woodson_28]

I've done tons of mock drafts, but I would really like to get a few opinions on where I should target Jason Heyward at in my upcoming Keeper league draft.

10 team, H2H keeper league draft that is 7x7 w/ the traditional 5x5 + OPS and Hits, K/9 and QS.

We keep 8 players and lose the rd that the keeper players are drafted in. (Example: Keeping a player drafted in the 5th rd cost a 5th rd pick next year).

w/ 10 teams x 8 keepers each, there are already 80 players off the board. I have Heyward targeted as a 12th rd pick (in a redraft keeper league), but w/ 80 players already gone, should I bump up his value as a 3rd - 6th rd pick? I don't see him as one of my keepers next year if I draft him in rds 3-6, unless he just dominates.

Here are my picks overall - through rd 12: 10th (rd 3), 14th (rd 4), 27th (rd 6), 37th (rd 7), 50th (rd 9), 53rd (rd 10), 64th (rd 11), 68th (rd 12)

my keepers:
Pujols (1)
Fielder (2)
A.Rod (5)
Tulo (8)
J. Upton (15)
Kershaw (17)
N. Cruz (22)
T. Hanson (23)

And the top OF available: Sizemore, Ellsbury, Bay, Carlos Lee, Markakis, Abreu, Choo Ramirez, Hamilton, Hunter, Bruce, McLouth, Beltran, Quentin, Ibanez, Bourn, Soriano,etc...

based on the rounds where you pick, I'd target Heyward in the 6-7 rounds...He's generalyl slotted anywhere from 12-16 in redraft leagues depending on who believes how much hype, so in a keeper, I'd move him up (keep in mind, next year [assuming Heyward lives up to it] you'll probably be dropping Cruz and keeping Heyward)
