Keepers. Weeks + Hellickson OR Kershaw + T Hanson. WHIR

Postby footballisbetter.com » Mon Aug 23, 2010 3:13 pm

Who would be better keepers for me for next season? H2H 5x5. I am already keeping P Alvarez, K Morales and Phil Hughes.

Which option would be better for me?

Rickie Weeks and J Hellickson?

or

Clayton Kershaw and Tommy Hanson?

i'd personally keep Kershaw and Hanson. i'd be hesitant keeping Weeks and Hellickson over that pair. Hellickson is nice but will have his first full MLB season next year and should have growing pains. He's also not as established as either of the other two as they are both one of the two best SP's on their teams and both young. Weeks has had a great season this year but he also has a track record of being injury prone and with 10-15 very good 2B's in the MLB, you can replace him with someone more durable and possibly just as productive.

No doubt Kershaw and Hanson are the better keeper duo. Weeks has always had health problems in the past and despite the fact that he has remained healthy this year, much of his appeal was the power/speed combo of which the latter half is no more. Kershaw and Hanson are both potentially #1 fantasy SP going forward.
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.

I would go with Kershaw and Hanson as well. Weeks is injury prone and probably having a career year. Kershaw and Hanson could both be aces next year.

Help on mine? viewtopic.php?t=418683
