I know it's early..will WHIR

[Padres Fan]

but my team tanked this season, I made a ton of mid season trade deadline moves and ended up with this list of possible keepers

I need 8 Keepers

it is a 11 Team ESPN League Roto scoring AVG/R/HR/RBI/SB/OPS-W/K/ERA/WHIP/QS/SVHD
So yes Saves and Holds, are counted as one stat so RP's are easy to draft and it is a OPS league basically.

HITTERS
Joe Mauer C
Joey Votto 1B
Ryan Raburn 2B,OF
Stephen Drew SS
Martin Prado 1B,2B,3B
Nelson Cruz OF
Shin-Soo Choo OF
Mike Stanton OF
Eric Young Jr.2B,OF
Billy Butler 1B
Jason Kubel OF
Adam Lind OF
Brennan Boesch OF
Howie Kendrick 2B
Nyjer Morgan OF

PITCHERS
David Price SP
Josh Johnson SP
Felix Hernandez SP
Jered Weaver SP
Matt Garza SP
Heath Bell RP

Joe Mauer
Joey Votto
Nelson Cruz
Shin-Soo Choo
David Price

For #8, since you use SVHLD I might say go with Mike Stanton instead of Heath Bell..but it's close.

Thanks for your thoughts on my thread.

maybe weaver but that's too many pitchers. but those 7 are right. i would not keep a closer. never.

As the above posters have said the first 7 are clear (and I'm sure you already know that): Mauer, Votto, Cruz, Choo, Price, Johnson, Hernandez. I usually would tend to shy away from 3 starters let alone 4 when there are only 8 keepers. That being said, if it is a 11 team, 8 keeper league you are hypothetically looking for top 88 value with the exceptions being if someone will be close to that in a prerank (so theoretically speaking a top 100-110 guy. I don't think that Stanton will be preranked that high, so I wouldn't have a huge issue dumping him back in, but if you think he will have that type of value I would keep him. Other than Stanton I think it comes down to Weaver or Prado. Both could be borderline top 80 preranked next year. Prado has only done this for just over 1 year, but is at a premium position and adds a decent OPS for that position. With Weaver you would have a killer staff and not need to worry about pitching or Ks for a while. I would probably go with Weaver (which like I said I don't like keeping that many pitchers, but I think that highly of Weaver).

[Padres Fan]

how about keeping Weaver over Johnson and keeping either Stanton or Prado. My theory is that Johnson does tend to get hurt alot and has a hard time getting 200 IP, and think when I need him the most during the stretch, it is probable that he is DL'd with some back or elbow injury.

any other help

any other help?

I can see your point about JoJohnson being hurt a lot and this is why I tend to think that going with 4 pitchers isn't the best plan. That being said, going with the 4 pitchers it would be possible that 1 would be hurt at some point next year, but that could be any of the 4, so having 3 solid pitchers isn't a bad option. Having read some more stuff about Stanton I wouldn't be opposed to keeping him either, although his upside seems to be Adam Dunn (lots of power, but a bad average, lower RBIs than other guys with similar power b/c of lack of ability to hit 1Bs or 2Bs).

I'm with the guy who said never to keep closers, atleast with SVHLDs anyways. I wouldn't normally wanna keep 4 and 4, but I like weaver/johnson a bit better then your remaining batters.


help with mine?
