or

Deal B.) I give Zack Greinke and Grady Sizemore -- I get Jacoby Ellsbury and Rafael Soriano

in a 12 team league how in the world do you have 5 top 10 pitchers, 3 top 10 overall hitters, and basically a top 3 player for every single position?

i guess i would prefer A because it would add a little depth to your bench (not that you need it)

I have to agree with A, because while you would be getting a closer in b, there is a chance that Sizemore could turn this around and pan out

even with the chance of sizemore panning out i'd probably take B.... while you're SP are studs you could use help in the RP department and TB is playing great...

I'm not experienced with keeper leagues, but Greinke for Ellsbury? I'd stick with Greinke. I think you could get more for him, and he's young too.

Help on mine?
