C Jesus Montero 1b Adam Dunn (does he carry this?) 2b Jason Kipnis 3b Miguel Cabrera SS/MI Manny Machado (if he carries SS eligibility) CI Ryan Zimmerman OF Shin-Soo Choo, Jason Kubel UTL David Ortiz Cole Hamels Chris Sale Mike Minor Brandon Morrow Joel Hanrahan 14th keeper should be Kubel or Beachy (play the upside or take a sure fire 25 homer OF which IMO you need due to your lack of elite OF keeper options. I disagree wtih Hootie one one thing Wilhelmsen is a marginal RP you can easily draft closers with those 4 stud starters and that offense you can select a good MI and closers with your top 3 picks if elite options available or an OF. Depends on your league settings and other GM strategies factor that into your decision. I think I'd take a big bopping OF over marginal closers. Belt has some upside if he carries OF eligibilty. Dunn is a beast you can always shift him to your OF and throw Kubel back if you can pick up a decent option.
The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be!
Dunn provides almost no value. His average is so bad, he could produce minus value this year. In a 12 team 5X5 last year, Dunn had $3 value. Not a Wilhelmsen fan, but he was at $13. Kubel at $10. Belt might be worth a look. Beachy is out 2 months at least, why bother?

True about his BA, but his power RBI walk and run totals can't be ignored. Even if he hits you a little bit in BA he makes up for it in other areas and you truly need his big bat seeing your keepers if you ask me.
X on Beachy

We don't agree on Dunn. 539 abs with a .204 BA isn't a little hit, it's a huge hit. You pretty much throw BA away.
