I'll join the fun, who do I keep?
 

I'm in a 20 team keeper league. We can keep 12 players. Last year I finished 3rd but was the #1 seed in the playoffs.

Here's my roster;

C-Posey, J. Lucroy
1st- Goldschmidt, K. Morales, J. Smoak
2nd-Kinsler
SS- Tulowitzki
3rd-E. Bonafacio(SS,OF), M. Prado(OF), P. Alverez
OF-H. Pence, D. Jennings, M. Morse(1B), J. Kubel, D. Murphy(TEX)

SP-T. Hanson, E. Bedard, C. Luebke, D. Fister, J. Masterson, M. Leake
RP-J. Hanrahan, S. Santos, G. Balfour, J. Spence

I'm leaning towards keeping these players;

Posey
Goldschmidt
Kinsler
Tulowitzki
Bonafacio
Pence
Jennings
Morse
Prado
Lucroy
Hanson
Luebke

Full disclosure, I'm a Tigers fan and don't like having players from the team on my fantasy team. The Tigers always come before fantasy.

Thoughts?

Are there salaries? I would think Santos is cheap and an obvious keeper.

What details are we missing?

No salaries or anything like that. I had Fister in '10 and redrafted him in '11. His mid-season trade made him a Tiger so I rode it out as I was in contention.

I've bolded the guys I'd keep.

Basically, the same as your choices but swapping out Santos for Goldschmidt. I always figure decent closers are harder to find than decent 1B/DH types (and I don't expect huge things from Goldschmidt).

I was thinking of employing a strategy of no closers this year. We have IP, W, K, H, S, ERA and WHIP as pitching scoring categories. Instead of having three closers and a holds guy like last season I was going to try to get as many quality SP as I could fit on the roster.

So you're going to dump two categories?

We're required to start two RP. I was going to try and find a SP with RP eligibility or maybe go with a couple of holds guys late in the draft.

Is it roto or head-to-head scoring? If it's roto, you could even wait until after the draft to add some RP that get you holds. (There's always a few Grant Balfour/2009 or Aaron Crow/2011 lurking in the waiver pool at the start of the season).

If you're looking for SP who have RP availability, Luebke is a must-keep, as he'll fit there (and give you GREAT numbers).

I traded Storen for Luebke and Goldschmidt.
