This is only my 2nd year in fantasy baseball, and I've got a good corps of players to keep, just not sure about some of the guys. Below is my complete roster, but the guys I'm thinking about keeping are in bold. Any insight on my team would be greatly appreciated. WHIR.
I'm really torn about keeping Morse, and have thought about offering out Fielder in trade in fear that his numbers may drop due to playing in DET now, and that's not a very hitter friendly ball park.
H2H league, up to 6 keepers of any position.
Scoring: Batting Batting Average (AVG) Home Runs (HR) Runs Scored (R) Runs Batted In (RBI) Stolen Bases (SB) Walks (BB)
Pitching Earned Run Average (ERA) Strikeouts (K) Walks plus Hits Per Innings Pitched (WHIP) Wins (W) Saves (SV) Pitcher Team Win (PTW)
Keepers as of now: Fielder Stanton Heyward HanRam B. Harper M. Pineda
C Matt Wieters 1B Prince Fielder 2B Martin Prado 3B Justin Turner SS Darwin Barney 2B/SS Erick Aybar 1B/3B Michael Morse OF Ichiro Suzuki OF Mike Stanton OF Jason Heyward DH Josh Willingham UTIL Carlos Pena UTIL Angel Pagan Bench Eric Hosmer Bench Bryce Harper Bench Jason Kubel, DL Hanley Ramirez
P Jonny Venters P Randy Wolf SP Roy Oswalt SP Hiroki Kuroda SP Brandon Beachy SP Michael Pineda SP Alexi Ogando RP Craig Kimbrel RP J.J. Putz Bench Wandy Rodriguez Bench Jeremy Hellickson DL Jonathon Niese
With Hosmer waiting in the wings I would be tempted to see if you could trade Fielder + Heyward (or another of your borderline keepers) for an elite stud. I would likely keep Hosmer over Heyward anyways. Other than that it looks good.

Agreed. Put out some feelers and see what you can get for Fielder. You could really use a pitching upgrade, so going after Kershaw may not be a bad idea. Looks like a solid team overall with some real good young talent.
I agree. see what you can get for Fielder. can you trade for better draft picks? Hosmer is someone who would be good to keep. but wouldn't it be better to trade for a better starting pitcher? someone on the elite level. Pineda should be good in NY, but I don't think he is upper tier. Hellickson I don't think is as good as he was last season, still good though. just an idea.

Can't trade for draft pick unfortunately, but talking to a few of the guys in my league, it sounds like I've got some interest in Fielder. Appreciate all the help guys!

No way can you justify keeping Harper with the other 6 keepers you have.
Assuming I can't move Fielder and another player in a package deal for an elite top 5 pitcher, do I spend my first 2-3 rounds on best pitcher available? I won't know my exact draft position until closer to the start of our draft, as its randomized every year.

Yes, I would keep Fielder, Morse, Stanton, Heyward, Hosmer, and Hanley then go SP heavy in the draft. I can't justify keeping Harper with your team.
