Need help with keeping 20 here. Also who do you think are the bottom 2 or 3 of the 20. Looking to trade some of these guys to get some value for what I have.

I think I would go with something like this:

C Buster Posey (SF - C,1B)
1B Miguel Cabrera (Det - 1B)
2B Dan Uggla (Fla - 2B)
3B Gordon Beckham (CWS - 2B,3B)
SS Derek Jeter (NYY - SS)
CI Prince Fielder (Mil - 1B)

MI Alcides Escobar (Mil - SS)
LF
CF Matt Kemp (LAD - CF,RF)
RF Jason Heyward (Atl - RF)

OF Austin Jackson (Det - CF)
OF Michael Stanton (Fla - RF)
Util J.P. Arencibia (Tor - C)
Util Domonic Brown (Phi - RF)
Util Kila Ka'aihue (KC - 1B)
BN Desmond Jennings (TB - CF) NA
DL David Freese (StL - 3B)
Pitching
SP Mat Latos (SD - SP)
SP Matt Cain (SF - SP)
SP Stephen Strasburg (Was - SP)
RP Jaime García (StL - SP,RP)

RP Luke Gregerson (SD - RP)
RP Jonathan Papelbon (Bos - RP)
P Drew Storen (Was - RP)
P Jonny Venters (Atl - RP)
P Daniel Hudson (Ari - SP)
P Mike Minor (Atl - SP)
BN Brian Matusz (Bal - SP)
BN Trevor Cahill (Oak - SP)

BN Travis Wood (Cin - SP)
BN Kyle Drabek (Tor - SP)NA
BN Jordan Zimmermann (Was - SP) NA
DL Ross Detwiler (Was - SP)DL

I could definitely see keeping Escobar over Jordan Zimmerman though.

A little help on mine please? viewtopic.php?t=418503

While I don't disagree with bigoz's choices, Jeter's age makes him my least favorite keeper on the list. I might see if I could dangle him in front of a big Bronx Bomber fan for some younger talent, in your position.

I like the point made by Gamer. Depending on the return, I might be even more compelled to keep Escobar over Zimmerman.

i would consider travis wood over some of those other young SP--hes looked very good in his major league starts so far and id keep an eye on him the rest of the year, he has potential to be a top 50 starter next year and even better going forward

I see no one is high on Hudson, Minor, or Storen?

Storen and Venters could close next year for sure, it just depends on how valuable and easy to draft closers are in your league.
