3 Pitchers, 3 Fielders?
Question from: Max

     Question - I'm in a 5x5 Head-to-Head league, 10 teams, and we keep 3 pitchers, 3 fielders. Here's the only logical possible choices:

     Nick Swisher
     Chase Utley
     Carl Crawford
     Matt Holiday

     Carlos Zambrano
     Felix Hernandez
     Matt Cain
     Ian Snell
     Scott Olsen

     I was thinking to keep Carl Crawford, Matt Holiday, Chase Utley, Carlos Zambrano, Feliz Hernandez and Matt Cain. If Alex Gordon is an option to keep for next year, do you think i should keep him over Holliday? Just so you know, I have the first pick in the draft an I'm taking gordon. I also thought, that Alex Gordon Might be an amazing player for the next few years. That is why I'm Debating him and Matt Holiday.

     Who would you keep?

     Also I was wondering, if it is better to draft young guys after I draft my top players that will probably be my keepers? or should I draft Proven players, because I'll Probably end up dropping them at the end of the season. An example is Konerko or Swisher. I was offered this trade.

     Answer - For fielders I would keep Utley, Crawford and Holiday. I would also keep Zambrano, Felix and Cain, so your keepers are right on.

     As for Gordon as a keeper over Holiday at the end of the year. I have to say right at this moment now Holiday's value is more. At the end of the year this will probably change and their values will be closer. I do think Gordon will be worth a spot in most keeper leagues.

     For the last part of your question. I would draft the best players possible or available. First, I would fill my starting roster spots, excluding RPs who can be drafted in later rounds. Then I would draft the best players possible and probably take a chance on a couple sleepers. I wouldn't base my whole decision on age, but rather who has the best potentiol to help your team win.
