Keeper league fantasy baseball, who ya got?

DrRyan · 02-21-2011, 08:42 PM

It is decision time once again and I have several no brainer keepers IMO, and several that will require more thought. This is my bigger money league. I have not yet looked over my keeper options in the smaller money league.

Give me some input on who you would keep and throw your upcoming keeper decisions in the mix as well. Bolded players who I am keeping as of right now. Numbers next to the player are the round which they were drafted last year. Player would be kept one round earlier this year unless two players from same round kept, then one would be two rounds earlier. 10 points for wins and saves (why I may keep Feliz)

Buster Posey free agent

Starlin Castro free agent

Andrew McCutchen 9 would like to keep Upton over him 7 rounds later, but
McCutchen has played much better since being called up.

Justin Upton 16 all the talent in the world but has yet to harness it consistently

Jorge De La Rosa 8

Yovani Gallardo 2

Felix Hernandez 3

Tommy Hanson 18 tons of talent 200Ks a given

Jonathan Broxton 20 not likely to pile up saves like 2009

Neftali Feliz 16 very likely keeper

Edison Volquez free agent

Pitching flies off the board in this league and Felix is a top 5 guy IMO, otherwise I would never think of keeping a SP that high. Extra 5 points for CG and SO each.

With that scoring King Felix might be the best fantasy pitcher this year, I'd hold onto him.

I assume yours in a 5x5 roto league and not H2H? If that is the case you have to keep Hanley, Mauer and Choo. I like Morrow quite a bit this year but don't think he is necessarily keeper worthy. Probably Carpenter and either Santana or Soria. You could make a case for Street as well but his injury history would probably turn me off from keeping him.

It is actually H2H i believe. I like Marrow a lot too. I will probably stay away from street.
