I think people are looking at Carp's shiny ERA and W-L record too much. He only gave up 7 HRs all season, and while he had a low FB% that number will go up. Even in his Cy Young season he gave up 18 HRs (albeit in a lot more innings). He also had a very low BABIP of .272 compared to a career number of .302, and because he doesn't have a great K rate and so relies upon the defense behind him more than others, an increase in his BABIP...

QUOTE (Kazmagic @ Dec 16 2009, 10:28 PM) Who would you rather have, Uggla or Cano, in a keeper league? I'm worried about Uggla moving to 3b. Leave a link... Cano. He is younger and put together a better season last year. He is in a better lineup, better hitters park, and has more positional stability as you've mentioned.

QUOTE (Huskies34 @ Dec 19 2009, 03:33 PM) I would go Kinsler and 9 and the one of the 1b left at 12. I've always been one to go with hitting over pitching espcially in your case where you already have a solid keeper in Greinke who I think will only build on last season. He may not be lince, but he gives you flexibility to not have to draft a pitcher to later. I understand what you're saying about SP...However, it IS...

Porcello, Buchholz......then Joba. We'll see if Clay continues to improve, but if I had to take a guy for 2010, it's Porcello.

QUOTE (Rush2112 @ Dec 25 2009, 12:18 AM) No way would i spend $30 on any closer. There are saves to go around on the WW in your league. But i would keep Bailey for a Buck. you can't beat that price at all. While I'm not sure where I am on the Mo for $30 argument, implying that saves are easy to come by in a 9P, 12-team AL-only keeper is probably misleading. In any AL-only league, most would-be...

QUOTE (TheWrightStuff @ Dec 18 2009, 05:58 PM) In a 10 team, h2h (tb/obp in place of hr/avg), keeper league...excluding A-Rod, Mauer, and Kemp...who would you take at the 9th spot assuming my predictions (as of today, shown below) come true...I predict on what I've heard from some of the other managers as well as what I think should be common sense. Yes, some of these keepers and even possible picks are unorthodox and...

I'd rather have Dunn for the reasons you've already stated

QUOTE (RotoRaysfan @ Dec 19 2009, 01:12 PM) A list of MILB players who are available (or if it's too long, a list of taken players) would go a long way to seeing who the best players are. If Strasburg & Heyward and Smoak are available, I take it means anyone not called up to the MLB is available? The guys already unavailable, and the scoring format of your league makes a HUGE difference on who should go #3 in...

QUOTE (Go Broncos! @ Dec 18 2009, 06:36 PM) 20 teams, H2H with 10 keepers C - Kelly Shoppach 1B - Mark Teixeira 2B - Ian Kinsler 3B - Jake Fox SS - Emilio Bonofacio LF - Kyle Blanks CF - BJ Upton RF - Nelson Cruz UTIL - Jay Bruce SP - Yovani Gallardo, David Price, Brian Matusz, Max Scherzer, Madison Bumgarner, Scott Feldman I bolded my choices...pretty good options...I wouldnt mess around with Shoppach...take a chance...

QUOTE (scoh123 @ Dec 24 2009, 02:29 AM) Would you keep Mariano Rivera at $30 if you were me. I just had Halladay traded to the NL at $26 and I was going to keep him but not Mo. I have Bailey at a $1 which is great as long as he's the closer. Paplebon, Soriano, Wood and Gonzales for Balt. is about all that will be available in the auction draft. Tex $31 Youk $26 Beckham...
