I have some tough decisions in a 12 team, auction, h2h, keeper league. I can keep up to 5 players at the prices listed. Our budget is $260.
Edit: Each year a player is kept the price will be increased $5 starting in 2012 (if that changes anyone's decision)

I think I have to keep 5, but which 5? I could go with a few high priced guys like Longoria and Felix, but there is a lot value in some of my pitching staff and Prado/Hart.

I'm tempted to say Felix, but SP is pretty deep this year. If you keep Wandy at $8 and then bid on Felix, you probably get more bang for your buck vs. keeping Felix and then bidding on Wandy (not that you want Wandy, just using him a illustrate the point).
I also really like ARam at $15. His 2nd half last year was stellar. However, because his overall numbers weren't as solid, you might be able to get him for about the same price anyway.
I think in the end your best value is probably Prado for $1...particularly with his multi-positional eligibility.

49 dollars and your keeping
a stud hitter a top 10 mi a 5 category stud a 20/20 possible 30/30 a possible ace who could be top 10
3B - Longoria - $29 MI - Prado - $1 OF - Choo - $16 OF - Hart - $1 P - Anderson - $8 P - Liriano - $2
This is what I would do. At $1 I would grab Prado In my league he has 2B/3B eligibiltity and I think he is being moved to the OF so that is a added benefit. I like Anderson alot as well. If healthy he can be a big boost especially in the ERA and WHIPs department.
