So if I had the ability to keep Milledge in a keeper league this year and I threw him back, did I screw up? Here’s who I kept (we keep one guy each out of each year’s draft class for 4, 3, 2 and 1 year). Carlos Quentin for 4 years, Alexei Ramirez for 3 years, Joba Chamberlain for 2 years and Victor Martinez for one year (note, after keepign Quentin, my OF is full with Quentin, A. Rios, C. Hart and H. Pence).

Great, thanks again for the help.

@mmontice: Well, you're here now, that's what matters. I would go with Johnson at $6 instead if the news is bad, but that could change too in two weeks.

Grey,
I actually have about two weeks until I have to decide on keepers, however, if his injury was catastrophic, or at least scary, who would you go with.

Thanks for the help. Love the website. Great analysis with a very healthy dose of humor. Always welcome in my book. Just wish I found this website before this year.

@mmontice: Tough spot for you. Do you have a few days to wait? If so, I'd take some time on Hamels elbow. I still think Hamels is the way to go even if he misses some time, unless the news is horrific.

@AL KOHOLIC: Oh. Only 6 of those. Got it. Okay, Phillips, Kemp, Davis, Hamilton, Volquez and Gallardo, in that order.

Grey,

Have been considering keeping Milledge as my 4th keeper all year, but decided on Hamels instead. Now that Hamels is having elbow trouble, not sure what to do here. Already have Hanley, Braun, and Kemp. NL Only, $200 spending limit, 10 teams, 21 roster spots.

Potential Worthwhile Keepers:
Hamels ($15)
Milledge ($15)
Josh Johnson ($6)
Ian Stewart ($6)
Mike Gonzalez ($6)
Conor Jackson ($14)

Thoughts? I am now teetering between Milledge and Johnson. Stewart would be in consideration if he was guaranteed regular playing time.

@BigFatHippo: I'd hold Hamels over Cruz as of right now, but we might hear more on Hamels in the days ahead so stay tuned. @AL KOHOLIC: I think you're dripping some of your Kahlua into the keyboard and the comma key is sticking. Sure, Harden seems fine. Other than that, I'm having a hard time figuring out the rest of your dilemma. Come again.

@Steve: Eh, I'll just keep Halladay, Webb, Bills and Shields and you guys can vulture the carrion. Might have to keep Cruz now, what you think Grey? For 5 bucks?

@Grey: Yeah it's just that I think Wright will be more reliable and 3B is much more valuable than OF. And I'm not happy about Davis striking out 16/40 atbats, kinda has me worried.

By: Grey

Grey — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 03:26:15 +0000

@Ashley: I think he will play the 10 games at 3rd, that's not me endorsing that trade though. You're giving up a lot for Wright, Upton and Lackey.

By: Ashley

Ashley — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 03:02:57 +0000

I traded Jeff Clement, Wang, and Scherzer for Iannetta and Lowe. I hope I didn’t bail on Scherzer too early.

Will Chris Davis play 3B at all this season?

I’m trying to trade Hamilton, Davis, and Halladay for Wright, Justin Upton, and Lackey.. But he thinks Davis will lose his 3B eligibility after this season, making him less valuable. So is there any chance he plays 3B like 10-15 games this year?

By: BigFatHippo

@Grey: If he’s out till May, I’m still on board.

Could be a blessing in disguise, less innings, less wear and tear, better numbers in late season. Good lord, I’m such an optimist……..

@cubbies299: Nah, hold Nunez.

By: cubbies299

cubbies299 — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 01:51:45 +0000

you buying the hype on Brandon Wood or Jody Gerut this year? If so, should I drop Leo Nunez for either of them?

By: Grey

Grey — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 01:44:37 +0000

@cubbies299: No idea, but he's very injury-prone as it is, so he might lose a few starts or he might lose 15 starts.

By: cubbies299

cubbies299 — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 01:39:46 +0000

how long do you think he’s out for?

By: Grey

Grey — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 01:39:15 +0000

@cubbies299: I wouldn't trade him for 50 cents on the dollar if that's what you're asking, but I would consider fair offers.

By: cubbies299

cubbies299 — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 01:36:43 +0000

as far as hamels goes, is he “I should try to trade him for what I can quickly before anyone realizes” bad?

@Nick: Your goal is to take his team name from him.
