12 Team H2H Standard Scoring Keeper (1 Pitcher, 1 Hitter)
Keeping Miggy in the 2nd and now got a dilemma at SP.
I think Kershaw is a top 10 SP this year EASY, maybe even top 5.... But he's gunna cost me a 5th if I keep him. with 24 top players being snaked before the draft, there is no chance in HECK i'm getting Kershaw back in the 5th, or 4th for that matter.
Or, I Keep Liriano and try to get Kershaw back with my #3 pick.. rough.
i REALLY want Kershaw but know the value is there with Liriano... What say thee?
This is an easy one. You must keep the value player. Remember this, Kershaw is a stud, I am targeting him as well, but you get a SP in Liriano who could outperform Kershaw with a 15th v. 5th. The difference between the 2 is considered very small by most knowledgeable people. Another point is that the new Target field is deep to the gaps, the ball simply doesn't leave the park. Mauer had 1 HR at home last year and Morneau had only 4 of his 18 at home prior to the concussion. Yes I am from MN and a season ticket holder, BUT I am not a homer when it comes to fantasy players, I draft based on value and I think you are getting too much value in Liriano to pass it up.
I'd like keep Kershaw because I think you get the guy you want. Some will argue for Liriano, and it all has merits, but personally, I would not be looking back with any disgust in keeping Kershaw.
I am much more confident in his progress than Liriano. Pitching seems deep regardless. I take the player I want.
Only a round extra value in Kershaw. However Liriano has arm problems right now and got rocked for 5 runs in the first game. Have the same issue viewtopic.php?f=26&t=423758
I'd wait and see how the arm improves and if not go with the stud in Kershaw especially if he won't come back around
