Ok, I need some advice. In my league we get to pick 1 rookie keeper.
On my team I have Jay Bruce, Evan Longoria, and David Price.
Who should I keep? I was kind of leaning towards Longoria, but I'm not so sure.

Longoria has the most upside of these guys I think. I'd never keep a rookie pitcher who hasn't pitched a single game in the bigs.
Bruce is going to be very good, I just think Longoria will be slightly better and will hit 4 hole on a better team the next couple seasons.

LONGORIA
Look at those rookie numbers. Bruce will be good, but Longoria already is.

What do you guys think on this keeper scenario.
I'm keeping Morneau, Ichiro, Hamilton. I have one more spot...
Granderson or Youkilis? Normally Youkilis never comes in mind, but he threw up some monster numbers.

Longoria
Bruce
Price
In that order.
This seems to be the keeper question thread so I'll throw mine out.
10 team 4 player keeper.
ARod
Jose Reyes
Utley
Morneau
Lincecum
The 1st three are no brain picks, but what about Morneau and Lincecum?
I will also have the 3rd pick in the draft so it won't be that important of a decision as I'll have a pretty good chance to get whoever I don't keep at #3.
Leaning towards Lincecum.
Morneau no brainer to me. If 40 players are kept in the league, Morneau will surely be take within those first two picks. Never are there as many pitchers kept, maybe 5 total? I think you keep Morneau and if you want can still get an ace with the 3 pick. How many guys with Morneau's numbers will be available? I think if you kept those 4 you easily have the best group in the league.

I'd take Lincecum, without a doubt, it's much easier to pick up offense (especially at 1B/DH) than it is to find an ace pitcher the likes of Lincecum.
OK, so we have my rookie keeper decided, but I also get to keep 2 position players and 2 pitchers, what would you guys do?
Top 4 Position Players:
Ryan Braun
Hanley Ramirez
Josh Hamilton
Mark Teixeira
Top Pitchers:
Edinson Volquez
Josh Beckett
Jon Lester
I am leaning towards keeping Braun, Hanley, Volquez, and Beckett. However, I've been kind of leaning towards taking either Teixeira or Hamilton recently over Braun. Any advice?
