So I have got a few real good players, but need to figure out the best value for keeping. Keep 4, but only a maximum of 3 from offense or pitching. My pitcher is easier, only keeping one Ill probably stick with Kimbrel or Shields. But offensively, I am thinking obviously keep Miggy(1B/3B), then Kinsler since 2B is tough to find production from. Now from here it gets complicated: Hardy is a SS that just hit 30 HR, Morse could sit at 1B and I like the 30HR/.300 AVG, Stanton is a stud but OF has so many producers.
Which 4 would you pick and why?
H2H, 10 Team, 4Keepers, 5X5 C: Russel Martin 1B: Miguel Cabrera 2B: Ian Kinsler 3B: Ryan Zimmerman SS: JJ Hardy OF: Mike Morse OF: Hunter Pence OF: Mike Stanton Util: Pablo Sandoval Util: David Ortiz BN: Victor Martinez BN: Johnny Peralta
SP: Ubaldo Jiminez SP: Wandy Rodriguez SP: James Shields SP: CJ Wilson SP: Rick Porcello SP: Jair Jurrjens SP: Max Scherzer SP: Josh Collmenter SP: Jonathan Niese RP: Jose Valverde RP: Craig Kimbrel RP: Huston Street

I'd say keep Stanton as the 3rd. He has 40 Hr potential. Overall you are just going to get better production out of him. Morse would be my 2nd option, but 1B is pretty deep, and he isn't in the top tier of 1B's.
As for your pitcher, id say keep Kimbrel. Besides getting 40+ saves, he struck out over 100 batters last year.
1B: Miguel Cabrera 2B: Ian Kinsler OF: Mike Stanton
Morse, Zimmerman, and Pablo are all a step down from these guys IMO.
Your pitcher-
SP: James Shields
He will regress, but is the best option of your SP. CJ Wilson isn't bad, but I like Shields more. Kimbrel is decent, but I'm not using 1 of my 4 keeper spots on a closer.
I prefer CJ over Shields. CJ put up good numbers in Texas and I expect them to improve or stay the same in LA. Shields worries me as he isn't consistent.

I think I'm leaning towards Zimmerman over Kinsler. 2B is a lot deeper than 3B, with a bunch of deep sleeper players.
I've never been a fan of Kinsler. he still plays for Texas, but he does most of his damage at home. 11 home- .296/.405/.528/.933 11 away- .214/.302/.428/.730 career home- .309/.395/.526/.922 career away- .242/.315/.412/.727
if Zimmerman is healthy he can get back to where he was in 2010 or even 2009.
