Need help with fantasy baseball

[Ocho Cinco]

Hey guys, I am looking for help from all of you fantasy guys out there. I am in my first keeper league, and I get to keep 5 guys from my winning team last year. The only catch is that I give up the pick for the round that they were taken in. Here is my team, and I am interested in seeing who everyone would keep.

1 Pujols
2 Hanley
3 Prince
4 Magglio
5 Webb
6 C.C.
7 Dice K
8 Putz
9 Saito
10 Figgins
11 Swisher
12 Verlander
13 Al Reyes
14 Brandon Phillips
15 K. Escobar
16 Gorzelanny
17 Capps
18 Liriano
19 Pedro
20 Gallardo
21 Varitek
22 C. Hart
23 Victorino

My biggest questions are, what does everyone think about the Pujols injury? Would you take a flier on Liriano since I got him in the 18th? WHat do you expect from Corey Hart this year? And is Brandon Phillips in the 14th a steal?

Without knowing the rules of your league and what else might be put out there, I'd keep hanley, prince, verlander, phillips and hart. escobar, gallardo and victorino are also worth considering. My logic is that you can't grab those guys anywhere close to those rounds. mags is going in the 3-4th, webb in the 5th, etc., so you might get them back.

Phillips is most definitely a steal. Hart should be a solid #2 OF, far surpassing a 22nd round pick. Liriano isn't worth keeping over other choices because of the uncertainty around him. Go w/ the surer things. Pujols isn't worth it in this case.

 

[scharnell]

how many teams are in your league? is it a standard 5x5 roto league?

if so, you have to keep H.Ramirez, Phillips, Liriano and I will get back on the other 2.

can you trade players to get someone else's keeper slot?

 

[Bubba Don]

I'd be worried about Pujols a little. I would keep:

Round 2- Hanley
Round 3- Prince
Round 5-Webb
Round 17-Capps
Round 22-Hart

It would give you a good mixture of speed, power, starting pitching and relief pitching to build the rest of your team around at good value positions in my opinion.

My league is standard head to head 10 team league. I think that I am going to keep Hanley and Prince for sure, but the last 3 spots are up for debate. I am thinking of keeping Verlander, Phillips, Hart, Gallardo, or Liriano. Someone please give me some insight on each of these players. I am leary about Liriano though.

Keeping Phillips in the 14th round is a no brainer.

 

[PacSER]

For sure:
Verlander
Phillips
Hart

Value w/risk:
Gallardo
Liriano

Sure things:
Fielder
Hanley

I would pick the sure thing, Fielder and Hanley. It's tough to throw away Liriano though. If you wanted Liriano, I would dump Fielder.
