Rookie Keepers (Baseball)
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. |

Re: Rookie Keepers (Baseball)
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.

Re: Rookie Keepers (Baseball)
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.

Re: Rookie Keepers (Baseball)
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.

Re: Rookie Keepers (Baseball)
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? |
