Need help picking 10 keepers...

[Pogotheostrich]

I would say Teixeira, Pedroia, Lawrie, Kemp, Granderson, Cruz, and Hosmer on the hitters side, and Bumgarner, Hamels, and Latos on the pitching side. I'm not as in love with Chapman as everyone else is, he has more value as a starter than a closer, but the problem is that I don't think he'll work well as a starter.

I think they keep Chapman in the bullpen. Fantasy-wise he is less valuable to be as a starter.

1B-M.TEIXEIRA
2B-D.PEDROIA
3B-B.LAWRIE
OF-M.KEMP
OF-C.GRANDERSON
OF- Nelson Cruz
UTIL - HOSMER

SP-M.BUMGARNER
SP-C.HAMELS
SP-M.LATOS


I don't know about anyone else but I had Rosario in the mix at the end with CRUZ and HOSMER. I think their can be an argument made for him especially since you would be using Hosmer in your utility spot.

As far as Chapman. I just don't feel comfortable in a keeper league with him. They still don't seem to know what they want to do with him and the dead arm/fatigue issue or whatever they said it was concerns me.

Here's my 10

C-WILLIN ROSARIO
1B-M.TEIXEIRA
2B-D.PEDROIA
SS-J.ROLLINS
3B-B.LAWRIE
OF-M.KEMP
OF-C.GRANDERSON
OF-N.CRUZ
UTIL-C.GOMEZ
UTIL-E.HOSMER
BENCH-R.DAVIS

SP-M.BUMGARNER
SP-C.HAMELS
SP-M.LATOS
RP-A.CHAPMAN
RP-J.JOHNSON
P-C.JANSSEN
P-G.BALFOUR
BN-K.MEDLEN
BN-H.KURODA
BN-T.LINCECUM
BN-R.DEMPSTER

I also wouldn't be against throwing Teixeria back and keeping either Bumgarner or a closer, but I think heading into 2013 with Medlen and Hamels as your SP with Chapman closing is enough pitching at that time. I like Hosmer this year, but he can be reacquired. I still get hung up on Teixeria. Might throw him back, especially keeping Rosario, Rollins and Granderson. BA is already taking a hit.
