Hey guys,
I'm trying to figure out my final keeper. It's a 15 team, 6x6 roto league, and I'll be looking to defend my 2011 title. We keep 8 guys.
1. Brian McCann
2. Prince Fielder
3. Jose Reyes
4. Matt Holliday
5. Cliff Lee
6. Dan Haren
7. Zack Greinke
8. tbd.
Guys I'm considering for the 8th spot are:
- Brett Gardner
- A Rod
- John Axford
- Ricky Romero
- Corey Hart
Thanks in advance. Leave a link if you'd like me to return the favor.

I think Arod as well. You have 3 SP so even though Romero is worthy of keeping he's too redundant. You can find plenty of RP with only 120 guys being kept so Axford ismeasily replaceable. SB are up and OF is deep so Gardner is out. And even in a down year Arod should give you the same stats as Hart but at 3B. I hate Arod but I think he's your slam dunk choice.
Good luck!
Help with mine?

I'd go Arod as well, particularly with him playing a very thin 3B position. With those eight you'll have C, SS, 3B spots locked up going into the draft. So you'll have the flexibility to going bargain shopping on DD.

A Rod is old, declining, and prone to injury. That said, if he can stay healthy (and get ~500 AB), he is a good bet for solid counting stats in the potent Yankee lineup. Still 20+ HR and 100 RBI potential there. And his AVG won't kill you, nor will his OBP since he walks a lot (even in 2011). I'm assuming OBP is the 6th hitting category.
agreed.
Also agreed. Only other option is to try and deal ARod and some of those guys you aren't keeping for another keeper but that is usually very hard to do especially when none of the guys you are trying to move are top of the draft kind of talents.

arod.
i think .290/25/90/90 is realistic, even if he gets a lot of rest. 3b is a think position.
