Need help with picking my 10 KEEPERS Thanx!

Postby Newkie » Sat Sep 25, 2010 10:41 pm

1B Justin Morneau
2B Brandon Phillips
OF Curtis Granderson
OF Shin-Soo Choo
OF Jacoby Ellsbury

SP Cliff Lee
SP CC Sabathia
SP Chris Carpenter
SP Zack Greinke
SP Chad Billingsley
SP Johan Santana
SP Brandon Webb
SP Wandy Rodríguez
SS Starlin Castro

I am in a 12 manager 10 keeper H2H league with normal 6x6 scoring. The above bold face players are my definite keepers, with the italicized players as my top prospect for the final spot for my 10 keepers. I will say, Chad Billingsley is my top choice without any advice right now, so maybe I can get enough advice on one of the others to help me change my mind.
As you can see, I have a lot of SP's, so taking another is just asinine. But I really have no other choice but Starlin Castro. I know he is a decent SS, but he would probably fall to me in the draft easier than one of the left out SP's? I would like to have seen Webb pitch, and who knows with Santana if he will be the same when he does come back. Wandy certainly finished strong down the stretch, but is he really a 10th keeper? I do need positional players, so during the offseason, I was thinking of shopping one of my SP's for help. I offered CC to one manager for Reyes, but he wants draft picks only. Thank you for your responses, and good luck during your season also.

Thanks

I would keep Santana over Billz as the K difference isn't much, but the WHIP difference is large. I don't think that Santana will have any problem bouncing back from this surgery and he is still a keeper worthy pitcher there. I don't know that Billz will necessarily even be ranked above 120 and I don't like the other options so I would definitely go with Santana.

I think you have to pass on Castro and keep another SP too? What is the 6th pitching cat? If it were something negative like HR allowed or losses then maybe reconsider Castro? Without knowing the 6th cat it's hard to say which SP to keep either except that I'm pretty sure Webb woill slip furthest in the draft.

I'd be inclined to lean toward Johan given IP that count.

I would go with Johan if I had your team.
