@Travis: I'd definitely reach for Davis.

Grey–
I’m in a ten 10 mixed league where we get 5 keepers, and I’ve got Grady Sizemore, Jimmy Rollins, Brandon Phillips, Adrian Gonzalez, and Dan Haren right now. I’m assuming, generally, that your top 50 will more or less be taken by keepers on other teams and by the fact that I’m drafting 9th in our snake draft (giving me the 59th and 61st picks in essence). Who do you really like from your 50-75 range, because it seems like you’re really down on most of them (lots of closers and catchers there). Would you reach for Chris Davis as the equivalent of a late 6th or early 7th round pick, especially considering my need at third base? I’d love to have Aramis or Chipper but I don’t see them being there at that point. Garrett Atkins may also be available.

@PhillyYorker: I would chose the same four. Cust is much better in an OBP league, but he's still below the four you have.

Dilemma. Keeper league reconstruction. Only get to keep 4. Prospects: Hamilton, Longoria, C. Davis, Ankiel, Cust, Ichiro, Ellsbury, and Soto. It’s a R, HR, RBI, OBP and SLG league.

Who do you keep? I realize Hamilton is just gonna suck this year, but I feel I must keep him. After that, I can’t say. Leaning towards Jacoby over Ichiro, but then I think keep both and lock down steals. It’s a quandry. As I look at last years numbers, I just don’t see why Cust isn’t more highly rated. Anyhow, as of now I’m going with Josh “the most overrated player of all-time” Hamilton, Longoria, Ellsbury and Davis.

Any ideas?

@Jeff: Howard

What is a better value; Howard as a 1st round pick (13th pick of 16), Ibanez as a 8th round pick, Atkins as a 8th round pick, or Dempster as a 17th round pick?

I’m trying to decide on my last keeper in a 16 team 5×5 roto league. Other 2 being kept are Holliday in the 9th round and Fuentes in the 20th.

@Clodbuster: Corey Hart's a 20/20 player and Pence has never put up more than 11 steals. They're not the same player.

Corey Hart being 48 spots higher than Hunter Pence is a little confusing to me. They are essentially the same player with Pence being the one with the higher ceiling.

Either way, you didn’t have to put Torii Hunter 9 spots ahead of him. That’s just no way to treat a man named Hunter!

@Cheez Whit: If you scroll your mouse over "2009 Fantasy Baseball Rankings" at the top of the page (next to Home), you'll see our Player Raters. Those have dollar amounts.
