SnB Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Thought I'd get some of your opinions on this. I'm in a keeper league and we get to keep 10 of our guys from last year. I have 8 locked up and am looking for advice ont he last 2 spots. s. green/belliard/bradley/gibbons/beltre f. garcia/burnett I'm leaning toward green and garcia, but just wanted to get some others advice. I wasted a high pick on beltre last year and really don't feel like he's going to do anything significant this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Beltre for sure as far as hitters. He has explosive upside, the others don't. Burnett/Freddy is a wash. Burnett could have a monster year but Freddy (if healthy) will be consistent and solid so I'd go Freddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch and Judy Garland Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I would be surprised if Beltre didn't have a really good year. As far as Burnett/Garcia-thats tough. Burnett has bigger upside as a fantasy pitcher although he probably has more injury concerns. I guess I'd go with Garcia but its almost a coin flip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Beltre, Garcia. Beltre is a must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomSlowik Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Part of it depends on who your other players are, since none of them are slam-dunk choices. Beliard and Belte aren't exactly big needs if you already have credible 2B and 3B. Garcia and Burnett are both pretty good, but you generally want to lean towards hitters. If you don't already have a 3B, I'd definitely say keep Beltre. My other pick for you team would depend on whatever other pitchers you have. If they are highly rated, fairly safe guys (like Santana, Oswalt, Pedro, Zambrano, Peavy), I'd say keep Burnett because he has a higher ceiling. If they are somewhat more risky pitchers (like Carpenter, Prior, Sheets, Johnson, Schilling, Harden), I'd say keep Garcia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxin' Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Beltre and Burnett. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Beltre is, and will be, crap. The only good thing that could come from picking him would be selling him high, but I doubt he has much interest anymore after his horrible year last year. As for the two picks, I'd take Green and Garcia. Green is a solid player, and while he might not be a superstar anymore, he's relatively consistant for a .800+ OPS, ~20 HR, 30+ doubles, and a handful of RBI. Garcia is, well, Garcia. He's got his ups and his downs, but either way, he's a safer pick than Burnett. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch and Judy Garland Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I'd keep Giles and probably Radke over Tracy although Tracy is intriguing. With position scarcity you have to keep Giles I think. I like to have a strong pitching team with offense focusing mroe on leaner positions so that is my personal view on why I'd keep those two. I'd definitely pass on Overbay though, you cna find a better fantasy first-sacker in the draft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Feb 12, 2006 -> 06:33 AM) Actually, I guess I could ask the same question. I also have 8 locked up. Need two more. M.Giles,S.Hillenbrand,C.Tracy,L.Overbay Gotta keep Giles. He was one of my few bright spots last year, and he's one of the best hitting second-sacker in all of baseball. Greinke... eh, not so much. Traded Francisco Cordero to get him. :banghead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.Giles,S.Hillenbrand,C.Tracy,L.Overbay Radke/Greinke I could keep both the hitters, it doesnt have to be 1 pitcher, 1 hitter. I'd keep Tracy and Giles. I know some people think Tracy may regress a little in 2006, but if he can play every game he's definitely got the capability to hit 30-100 going on how he hit in the 2nd half of 05.

SoxFan1 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Beltre/Burnett for SnB Giles/Radke for Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomSlowik Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Tony, I wouldn't touch Radke or Grienke. Definitely go with Giles and Tracy. Giles could go 20/20 at a short position, and Tracy could go .300-30-100 and will be 3B eligible. Both are pretty solid for a 10 man keeper league.

southsideirish Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Adrian Beltre and Milton Bradley. Bradley could have one hell of an awesome year in Oakland. Neither one of those pitchers seem like keeper material to me. Sorry. Shawn Green in a keeper league? No thank you. Giles and Tracy for the other one. That seems like a no brainer to me.
