    12, OK:

    Tex
    Hanley
    Longoria
    Martin
    Markakis
    Berkman
    Webb
    Ellsbury
    KRod

    After that, it's up to you. I am not a big fan of keeping closers, but KRod is worth keeping with what else is left to choose from. Might as well keep Lidge too I guess.

    with 12 keepers out of 16 players it's easier to just name the 4 that i wouldn't keep and that would be: burrell, harden, and broxton for sure. imo it's a tossup between lidge and oswalt for the last spot. i don't like to keep many closers since that position is so volatile but you aleady have 3 sp's so it's up to you.

    Oswalt for sure... only other option would be Lidge, but there's no reason to think he won't have 45 saves next season and have sick whip, Ks, etc ...

    could you package a couple together for a better (and safer) player? like burnett and oswalt for someone like johan santana or lincecum. or burnett, oswalt, and kinsler for a relatively safe top 10 starting pitcher and utley.

    Re: Rookie Keepers (Baseball)

    I ended up with my team going like this going into the draft:

    1 Hanley Ramirez
    2 Brad Lidge
    3 Francisco Rodriquez
    4 Mark Teixera
    5 Ian Kinsler
    6 Russell Martin
    7 Evan Longoria
    8 Nick Markakis
    9 Brandon Webb
    10 AJ Burnett
    11 Jacoby Ellsbury
    12 Curtis Granderson
    13 Clay Bucholz

    I traded Carlos Zambrano for Granderson and Bucholz.

    Thanks for the input.
