Need some advice…

12 team 6 keeper league need to keep one of these guys: Rasmus, G Beckham, McCutcheon, Fowler or BJ Upton.

I traded for Upton to keep him but he crapped the bed so much that I am considering one of these other guys

In looking at Rasmus, let’s also not forget that he suffered from a number of nagging injuries that could have had an effect on his performance. I know that he had a heel injury as well as a hernia around the end of June. A lot of those nagging little things can have an effect on performance. I will be looking at Rasmus this year as well as someone like Ibanez. In my opinion, both are in the in the same situation and could be primed for huge years in the lineups that they get to bat in!

@Eddy: Try for late March to avoid fluky injuries and to know starting jobs.

@Grey: ah, I see. Good stuff! Hey quick question, do you draft your official teams as soon as pitchers and catchers report or late march to be cautious with any spring training injuries?

@Eddy: I have the MLB package so I can watch all the games.

@Grey: haha, yea I gotta love them. I don't think the games would be the same with the occasional "and his name is Dan Ugglaaaa!!!". How do you know of them from all the way in LA btw?

@Eddy: Yup, but their announcers are great. @JohnnyBoy: Good mix of upside and veterans. Hudson pick is useless. May as well draft upside at MI. Beckham, Desmond, etc. Not a huge Big Z fan in the SPs and wouldn't ever draft Feldman, but your team would definitely be competitive. Now try a 12 team league. Insert winking emoticon.
