^ That's what I have selected so far. I hope Hanley has a good year. He sucked last year.

I've got Weaver and Miggy as definites. Am debating between Adam Jones, David Wright, Jon Lester, and Grienke for the other two. Also have Montero, but don't really feel he's keeper worthy.

I think you have some interesting options. How many can you keep? Is there any limits to how long you can keep them? Also, any draft pick penalties (i.e. Hanley would cost a 3rd round while Pablo would only cost a 7th)?

You can keep 4. Keep them as long as you want. Just like a normal keeper league. If I only keep 3 I will get a 4th round pick. If you only keep 2 you get a 3rd and 4th before everyone that kept 4. Problem is most the good players are kept already so it doesn't help that much. I'm pretty sure I will stick with Linecum, Hanley, Price and McCutchen.

I also have Lance Berkman, Jeremy Hellickson, and Brandon League. I don't expect any of those three (save Hellickson) to come close to duplicating last season though.

I'm pretty sure I'd keep Wright unless the available 3B pool is crazy deep. If guys like Pablo and Beltre are available I might throw him back and go with both pitchers. My other pick would probably come down to one of the pitchers. No way am I keeping Montero and I would assume you can get an OF of Jones level out there.

I would look heavily at the 3B pool before I threw Pablo back over Price. But it's pretty tough between those two.

A corner IF spot would also have me leaning more towards Pablo as well. Not sure if your league has one or not. But some people will use 3B to fill it and it will take a lot of the late-round 3B away from you to use.

**UKMustangFan** · Mar 9, 12, 09:04 AM

^Yeah, I'm leaning towards Wright (injury-risk scares me though) and Grienke.

Don't forget, they are moving the fences in at Citi.

True but I'm not sure he is worth it.

Uggla's ADP is 48.6 so it's only a reach of about a round depending on what pick you have. Considering what else you are keeping you need help filling out your infield. Without being privy to the rest of your team I say it's a solid keeper. Not the greatest, but it could be much worse.
