@justin: I'd take Braun, Tulo, Morneau and Upton. Or Sizemore and Votto. Can't really lose either way, but I'd go with the first scenario.

@jamesllegade: If you won, you made the right move. So are you not choosing from Longoria? If so, I'd keep Prince and Kemp... Then Cano and Pablo. The Pablo selection is tough, I could see going with a pitcher, but I have a feeling you're going to have a lot of pitchers in your draft with the way your keepers are set up.

Wait…I screwed that up. We keep in a 12-57 format which means you can keep 2 of your original keepers and the you have to keep somone you drafted in the 5th (actual first round after keepers) or after and someone you drafted in the 7th round or after.

So I would have to choose 2 keepers form this group:

Prince
Kemp
Jose Reyes
Evan Longoria (I actually traded him for a closer to lock up this league’s title last year… but probably could have traded Prince or Kemp instead. Did I make the right move?)

And 2 from this group:

Javier Vázquez (9th)
Cano (10th)
Pablo (13th)
Josh Johnson (16th)
Carpenter (17th)
Andrew McCutchen (FA)

Note: You dont getting any advantage for taking people you drafted late. You pick 2 from each group and then everyone else gets dumped in the draft pool.

@BigFatHippo: Ha! @sean: I'd possibly keep Stewart over Edwin, but I have no idea of rounds for anyone but Cruz.

Who would you keep from the following list? Choose 1, 2 or 3:

John Danks, Tulotwitski, Cueto, Torii Hunter, Edwin Jackson, Posada, Nelson Cruz or Ian Stewart.

I was planning on keeping Tulo (a top player at a weak position), Cruz (it will cost me just a 21st rounder) and Edwin Jackson (hoping next year he puts it all together).

@AL KOHOLIC: @Grey: Yeah, I was supposed to originally write with them but got too busy with new job, buying a house, being an alky, etc. There's probably too much research involved for me to give an educated opinion and frankly, I've gotten dumber over the years if that's possible................ Who knows, if I find some free time and some smart pills, you might see me yet on Razzball Football, BigFuckinHippo style!

@AL KOHOLIC: I’ve played H2H since ’03, but after one year of roto I’ve gotta say that I prefer it to H2H.

H2H can be kinda random – your opponent’s Jorge Cantu has his first hot week in months in the playoffs and your season is toast.

AL KOHOLIC — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 21:41:45 +0000

@Steve: yeah i thought so,ive never played h2h baseball and` would love to but i doubt youll get those guys to go 5x5 instead of 7x7,all of them are great guys(maybe not roob)but they are country boys,town of 500,change is not really thier specialty unless it helps get the crops in faster

By: Steve

Steve — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 21:36:42 +0000

@AL KOHOLIC: BTW - dunno if you saw, but wasn't suggesting we switch to H2H in the keeper. Was just saying I'd prefer standard 5 x 5 roto scoring.

@AL KOHOLIC: Know what you mean. Doc and Co are doing a great job, but it seems to be strictly business in the fantasy football community.

@jamesllegade: I'd agree with AL.

@jamesllegade: with pablo not being catcher eligible next year id consider not keeping him to keep reyes and cano

By: jamesllegade

jamesllegade — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:59:51 +0000

I get 4 keepers… I have Prince, Kemp and Pablo on the list and have to decided on one of these three;

Jose Reyes
Robinson Cano
Andrew McCutchen

Health vs Scarcity vs Youth

What say you Grey?

@Grey: football is kind of like the 1st 20 games in baseball,you have to draft well #1 ,manage your bye weeks closely and try to set up if and when you get to the playoffs,but you cant win without luck.and ive had lots of it,my team is real solid and my hunch that rothisberger would be a top QB has paid off but ive won 5 games by 11 points,all in all its been great and as ive said doc and the guys are great in the post,now we just need to find a way to get people to actually talk.I mean gameday no one post anything?maybe they are all at hoops(sports bar, better than hooters)or something but right now to no fault of doc and the crews,its pretty much questions,i need frikin hippo to get on there,need to see if doc and them can add him to the staff,I think you know im not knocking them it will just take time to build a fan base i quess,but i love the site and dont want them to get discouraged,

@AL KOHOLIC: Nice, glad you're doing well in football. I see you're top 2 overall for all the RCL, impressive.

By: AL KOHOLIC

AL KOHOLIC — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:06:04 +0000

@Grey: thanks,ive been busy in 3 football leagues(9-0)in the RCL,with a lot of luck i might add,but ive still been reading your post and keeping up,as i said before,my baseball teams have missed 1st place because of sp the last couple of years and imwilling to listen this year,
