my first year in this keeper league. my 5 keepers are- SP- David Price. 3B- Ryan Zimmerman. 1B- Paul Konerko. 2B- Dan Uggla. SP- Brandon Beachy.
I have 2 picks in the first round. 3rd overall and 12th overall. these are the top players available. please rank say the top 5?
1B/3B- Pablo Sandoval. OF/1B- Michal Morse. (injured lat?) C/1B- Mike Napoli OF- Jason Heyward. (bad spring?) OF- Adam Jones. C- Buster Posey OF- Jayson Werth. OF- Shane Victorino. OF- Ichiro Suzuki. 1B- Billy Butler. OF- Corey Hart. (injured?) OF/1B- Lance Berkman. 1B/2B/3B- Michael Young. 1B/2B/OF- Michael Cuddyer. OF- Carl Crawford. (injured)
I think Sandoval will go either 1 or 2, so I probably wont get him. I think I would take him at 3 if he was available. Michael Morse could have good numbers, but I worry about his injury. Jason Heyward has a lot of potential, but he's having a bad spring, after having a bad year in 2011. I could go Mike Napoli?
for my 12th overall pick I think if they are still there I might choose between either Ichiro or Butler. I know i'm going to need to target speed, and I think Ichiro returns to form batting in the 3 spot and again goes 40+ in SB.
Pablo would be my first pick. After that it is hard to say because so many guys will be off the board. Napoli/Crawford (most upside)/Heyward would be who I would look at.
No SP good enough to list?

most of the top pitching is being kept. part of the reason I kept Beachy over Adam Jones who was my other option. the top pitchers available- Ian Kennedy (I don't trust), Yu Darvish (I don't trust), Tommy Hanson (returning from injury), Josh Johnson (returning from injury). there are some SP I'm looking at maybe 3 rounds later like.. Luebke, Garza, Ubaldo, Marcum.
