This is what I'd keep...

I appreciate your response. However, we can only keep 8. Who else would you kick to the curb?

[willthethrill]

Hamels only because NL starting pitching is deep overall.

I'm assuming 500+ at bats from Venable, but if that were to somehow not shake out like that, then he would be next.

Yeah, Will is right, I'd drop Hamel only because I think you can get him back at the same price, if not cheaper.

I am leaning towards Wood over Arroyo as his ratios should be better and a better k rate. Am I off here?

Half a season for a #5 starter scares me a bit. Add in the fact that Leake is breathing down his neck and I'd take the sure thing.

[Hammer]

my thoughts on keeping Wood are based upon him being named into rotation. I wouldnt keep him if he wasnt.

Part of the problem is that you might not know by the time that you have to submit your keepers. But hopefully, you'll have enough time to have all the info you need...

[Gregg]

I would keep Hamels over Arroyo and Wood over Venable. This assumes Wood is a starter.

I traded Bourn 11 to get Chacin 12 Jamie 1 and Snyder 1..........Heres my new list with who I think I am keeping

Uribe 1 keep
C Johnson 5
snyder 1
Chacin 12 keep
Garcia 1 keep
J Upton 20 keep
D Brown 1 keep
Venable 2 keep
Alonso 1
Byrd 14
Hanrahan 1 keep
Nunez 4 keep
Wood 5
Arroyo 2
Hamels 30

Ive been offered J Zimm 3 for Johnson but I dont think he makes my 8 so why bother? I countered with Johnson/Snyder for Pence 27.


All thoughts on my list and trade thoughts are appreciated. This list still needs a lot of work.

I really like the Garcia deal for you. I don't like the Pence deal, though, I realize you're not giving up keepers but I don't think I freeze him at $27 anyway. I agree with your current list. I would shop Hamels. Maybe someone is interested.
