Liriano And My Keepers?
Question from: Rui
Question - I'm in a 10-team League that allows us to keep 6 players from the previous year. My top 12 considerations are listed below. Right now I'm looking at keeping Delgado, Furcal, Roberts, McCann, Carpenter and Nathan.
The dilemma I'm having is with Liriano, who would have been a no-brainer if not for Tommy John surgery. Should I keep him instead of one of those 6? Or should I try to get him again in the draft? If so, what round should I be looking to get him in?
I also love the potential of Francoeur and A-Gonzalez, but I'm not sure when to grab them.
Batting
Eric Chávez (Oak - 3B) 117/485 74 22 72 3 .241 .786
Carlos Delgado (NYM - 1B) 139/524 89 38 114 0 .265 .909
Jeff Francoeur (Atl - OF) 169/651 83 29 103 1 .260 .742
Rafael Furcal (LAD - SS) 196/654 113 15 63 37 .300 .814
Adrián González (SD - 1B) 173/570 83 24 82 0 .304 .862
Todd Helton (Col - 1B) 165/546 94 15 81 3 .302 .88
Brian McCann (Atl - C) 147/442 61 24 93 2 .333 .96
Brian Roberts (Bal - 2B) 161/563 85 10 55 36 .286 .757
Pitching
Chris Carpenter (StL - SP) 221.2 15 0 184 0 3.09 1.07
Francisco Liriano (Min - SP,RP) 121.0 12 1 144 1 2.16 1.00
Joe Nathan (Min - RP) 68.1 7 36 95 0 1.58 0.79
Dontrelle Willis (Fla - SP) 223.1 12 0 160 0 3.87 1.4

Answer - First I would not keep a closer. You can get another one easily in the draft in the latter rounds. I would keep the below players I listed and keep at least 2 pitchers. Carpenter and Willis are both keeper material.
Carlos Delgado, Jeff Francoeur, Rafael Furcal, Brian McCann, Chris Carpenter, Dontrelle Willis
I would keep Francoeur over Roberts. Jeff will win you more categories than Roberts. Roberts SBs are tempting, but not worth as much as Francooeurs overall categories.
Since this is a keeper league. I would expect Liriano to go in the mid to late rounds. He doesn't look to play this season. So, that might hold some people off from drafting him. As soon as you take care of basic team needs I would use a pick to then draft him.
