I agree with your choices. I can't see a reason to keep anyone different. Unless Petricka is closing, then maybe keep him instead of Garcia??

Good luck!

[griswold]

I dunno about Gyorko in a mixed league. He was really, really, really terrible last year. McCarthy might be a better keeper than him.

Yeah, I've read some good things about doing well late last season and have seen him on a few sleeper/keeper lists.

He's at the age 26 as well...so, I'm drinking the Kool-Aid now that he has a better offense around him.

We'll see....

I was hoping Petricka would be closing but then the White Sox went out and got David Robertson....so, I think he's not worth keeping at this point.

Thanks!

[bryanbutler]

agree with elD about gyorko. i'm not high on him this year...

[mjl]

In a 2-C league I would at least consider Vogt over Gyorko.

[griswold]

Ok, ok.....you guys scared me...so I made this trade last night:

I gave up Gyorko, Archer and Hutchinson for Scherzer and Leonys Martin.

That's an amazing deal considering Hutchinson wasn't even on your roster!

Yeah, he was....when I updated my keeper list, I typed in Wacha's name over his....lol

[drewminnehan]

I wish I saw this before I did the trade I would have tried to get more out of you

It's not that I didn't like Hutchinson, I just knew I wasn't keeping him.

I think Hutch can provide some solid numbers for you.

[DMT]

What's Hutch's salary?

[griswold]

What's Hutch's salary?

I think it was $5

[DMT]

I think it was $5

You win

[drewminnehan]

I was going to try to throw Scherzer back and get him around that same price in the auction so I wasn't planning on keeping him. And my list wasn't great so I needed the numbers so I'm good with the trade.

I don't think you should keep Giles because I want to get him cheap in the draft. But if you do, I agree with the 10 you have highlighted. If you could keep 11 or 12 then maybe McCarthy would sneak in there but I like your list as is.
