do you have the scoring categories?

in my humble opinion though in terms of keepers i agree with you on cano, but pujols and longoria im not too sure about. If it were me id really lean towards either cespedes, heyward or medlen, all still relatively young and poised for big years

after looking at the scoring categories, i still feel the same way bout heyward, cespedes, and medlen. I understand pujols with the lineup protection maybe switching out with medlen in if i consider him a keeper but thats bout it. so in summation id prolly go with cano, pujols, and heyward

thanks....i'm a huge braves fan, but something scares me about medlen going forward.

any other opinions?

I just traded Felix Hernandez and Evan Longoria for Cole Hamels and Yu Darvish, so theres an updated roster
