[Tubbs1518]

I get to have 2.

Matt Wieters C Baltimore
Joe Mauer C, 1B, DH Minnesota
Dustin Pedroia 2B Boston
Troy Tulowitzki SS Colorado
David Wright 3B New York Mets
B.J. Upton OF Atlanta
Austin Jackson OF Detroit
Jacoby Ellsbury OF Boston
Prince Fielder 1B Detroit
Josh Reddick OF Oakland
Marco Scutaro SS, 2B San Fransisco

Jim Johnson RP Baltimore
James Shields SP Kansas City
Scott Feldman SP, RP Chicago Cubs
Greg Holland RP Kansas City
David Price SP Tampa Bay
Jose Valverde RP Free Agent
Frank Fransisco RP New York Mets
Doug Fister SP Detroit
Johnny Cueto SP Cincinnati

I'm thinking Fielder and Wright. What do you guys think?

 

[Tubbs1518]

Really, no help at all from you homos?

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

Fielder & Price.

 

[bone3421]

do you just get to keep them......any penalties? lose draft pick or lose any auction dollars?

if no penalties yes prince and wright

 

[herky]

Fielder & Price.

I think this is really your only realistic option. Possibly Shields but I don't trust anything from Kansas City. Upton has a lot of potential but he needs to be better than a .250 hitter to justify it.

 

[Tubbs1518]

No penalty, I just get to keep 2 people that were on my team last year.

Fielder and Wright were my first thought. Then I wondered if I should keep 2 position players or keep 1 and a pitcher.

Since there is no penalties, no further valuation needs to be considered....

Therefore, you should think of your keepers as your first two draft picks.....

I wouldn't draft any pitcher on your team with either of my first two picks, so you have to go two position players.....

Obviously Fielder everyone agrees upon, so the other keeper depends on how risky you are....

Safest bet would be Wright with Pedroia a close second in the "safe" pick (assuming standard 5x5 scoring)

The biggest risk, but potentially greatest reward would be Tulowitzki as he is capable of out performing everyone on your team and at a weak position, but he's just so damn injury prone.....

I was thinking that. Tulowitzki, if healthy is the best overall player on my team. But can he be healthy?

I wouldn't bet on it.

Either fielder and price or fielder and wright. I'd tend towards two elite position players as there's not much difference in most leagues between elite pitchers and very good pitchers with respect to scoring. Cueto could be a good choice if he can duplicate last years performance since he's in the NL.

Keep Scutaro and Valverde. The rest of those guys are bums.

 

[Upstater]

How many teams in the league?
