I keep going back and forth on my last keeper spot and could use some advice. Should I keep Eric Hosmer or Matt Moore? Both would cost me a 20th round pick and I can only keep one.
This is a 12 team H2H League, 30 man rosters, we start C/1B/2B/3B/SS/MI/CI/5OF/1U/7SP/3RP. We set weekly lineups.
My other players who I am definitely keeping are Greinke, Wainwright, Lawrie and Sandoval.
Pitching tends to be weighted a little more heavily in this league as you can see from the scoring below. Thanks for your input.

Baseball is a game where a curve is an optical illusion, a screwball can be a pitch or a person, stealing is legal and you can spit anywhere you like except in the umpire's eye or on the ball. ~Jim Murray
I would take Hosmer for this year by a landslide; I am pretty sure I'd take Hosmer for long term as well, but it becomes much closer. Offense before Pitching. As Joaquin Andujar said, pitching can be summed up in one word: youneverknow.
