Early keeper look

[Hammer]

10 team NL 5x5 categories are TB RBI R SB OBP and K/9 W S ERA WHIP....Went for a money spot last year and came up short. I am now left with the carnage. We can keep up to 8. The ones I think I am keeping are in bold

Mesoraco 1
Freese 12
Ramirez, H 18
Morrison 1
Cozart 3
Uggla 26
Blanks 2
Heisey 1
Scheirholtz 5
Bourgeois 1
Cueto 9
Luebke q
Norris 5
Leake 4
Minor 5
Volquez 4
Wood 2


give me your 8.

That's Hanley Ramirez at 18? How did you manage that?

I generally agree. I might keep Bourgeois or Minor if he has a guaranteed starting spot or Volquez to see how much Petco helps, although I don't know how much it can help with wildness...

He was bought at 3 by someone 5 years ago and was extended to 18. This is his last year.

Can you keep Norris in 2013? If not, I'd consider trading him.

How much is Luebke, $1, $2? Either way, an obvious keep.

I'd probably keep Leake as the last keeper.

I imagine someone would be interested in Bourgeois, cheap steals are always nice, but I don't think he's worth keeping on your team.

[Hammer]

Norris gets punted after this season due to the Stros to the AL.
Bourgeois hasnt gotten a sniff.
Luebke is 1.

any thoughts on keeping Heisey at a buck? I prefer to keep a hitter as the NL bats are pretty lacking this season.

[BuckyBuckner]

I like Heisey, especially if he can win the job from Ludwick.

[joncarlos]

Why not Freese? There isn't a ton of profit at $12, but he's a solid contributor who could earn a few bucks above that.

[Hammer]

I have thought about Freese. The thing is he is like glass.

[willthethrill]

I like Heisey for 1 probably the best. Minor more than Leake.

I don't mind Uggla at all either. You have profit with everyone else. Uggla is fair-value, but one of the top 2nd basemen in the NL. Depending on other team's keepers and potential inflation, Uggla for 26 might be nice. I never mind keeping a top slugger for fair value if I have profit elsewhere.

I agree. I would keep Freese. Yeah the is the injury risk is there, but so is the talent and upside. Plus you locking up a position that doesn't have much depth in the NL.

[chancellor]

+1 on Freese at 12. I don't see better options, especially with Bourgeois and Heisey having pretty big PT questions.

[sfleming]

The below would be my list- I have a similar dilemma with Norris, thought, and have yet to decide for sure with my own squad.

Mesoraco 1
Freese 12
Ramirez, H 18
Morrison 1
Cozart 3
Uggla 26
Cueto 9
Luebke q

[Hammer]

thanks guys.

Scott. Cozart is on the reds not the Stros.....

[willthethrill]

thanks guys.

Scott. Cozart is on the reds not the Stros.....

He was probably was thinking of Jarred Cosart, the pitcher that the 'Stros got from the Phils in the Pence trade.
