Need keeper input

Postby Trubbaman » Sat Jan 05, 2013 9:50 pm

I'm in a 14-team standard Yahoo points league. We can keep five players and I've got to choose from:

Miguel Cabrera, Adam Jones, R.A Dickey, David Price, Matt Cain and Craig Kimbrel.

To my mind it comes down to Dickey vs Jones, but I'd like to hear what you have to say. Thanks for your help.

It's Dickey vs Kimbrel for me. I'd try to move them both for someone first, but push comes to shove I would lean toward dumping Kimbrel. I don't love Dickey, but he would be the more valuable piece if he performs anywhere close to 2012.

The concern there for me is that Kimbrel is so strong in a points per IP and with the Yahoo innings cap, that matters. I suppose it's a good problem to have.

It would be closer if you didn't already have 3 great pitchers. I would keep Jone for sure.

Help with mine?
