I am in a 12 team, 10 category H2H league where we can keep 3 Hitters and 2 Pitchers. My team is as follows:
C: Yadier Molina
1B: Ryan Howard
2B: Daniel <urphy
3B: Trevor Plouffe
SS: Jimmy Rollins
OF: Jay Bruce
OF: Matt Kemp
OF: Melky Cabrera
UTIL: David Ortiz
UTIL: Michael Cuddyer
BN: Chase Headley
BN: Yasmani Grandal
DL: Evan Longoria
DL: Lance Berkman
P: Jon Lester
P: Jair Jurrjens
P: Jose Quintana
P: Michael Fiers
SP: Gio Gonzalez
SP: Ryan Vogelsong
SP: Jered Weaver
RP: Fernando Rodney
RP: Jim Johnson
BN: Brandon McCarthy
Alright, so my question is this: What hitters do I keep? I'm already pretty solid on Gio and Weaver as my keeper Pitchers, and Kemp and Longoria as 2 of my 3 keeper Hitters, but who should the 3rd be? It'll obviously be one of Bruce/Melky/Ortiz, but which one? I've been wavering for a while. I used to be set on Bruce, but then I ended up acquiring Melky (same deal I got Weaver in) and he has been amazing, plus Papi is Papi. The only reason I'd discount Ortiz is his age, but that hasn't seemed to slow him down. Plus, age is far less damning in Baseball than it is in other sports.
So, what do you guys think? Bruce? Melky? Ortiz?
