If you had to pick any of the 3, who would it be? this is for a 14 team, 3 player carryover keeper league im in.

Roster Positions: C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF, OF, OF, Util, SP, SP, RP, RP, RP, P, P, P, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, DL
Stat Categories: R, H, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI, SF, SB, K, GIDP, E, AVG, OBP, W, L, CG, SHO, SV, K, GIDP, HLD, ERA, WHIP, K/BB

C M. Barrett (ChC - C) - probably can do better, hes pretty good for a always thin position
1B J. Giambi (NYY - 1B) - eh...i hate him, but he was great for me in the 2nd half last year.
2B L. Castillo (Fla - 2B) - not a bad choice, but not top shelf anymore - miss them wheels
3B J. Randa (SD - 3B) - love Randa, but not a top 3 guy..
SS O. Vizquel (SF - SS) - bleh
OF C. Jones (Atl - 3B,OF) - Hated having him last year, but its hard to give you up Chipper
OF J. Gomes (TB - OF) - really like to see what he'd do with 500+ ab's
OF M. Alou (SF - OF) - Good year cut short, probably not worth 1 of the 3 spots
Util T. Helton (Col - 1B) - Finally turned it on late, but hes got me scared. Hard to imagine Helton declining this soon.
BN M. Lawton (NYY - OF) - hahahah. ahem. Hes been great this spring tho.
DL J. Estrada (Atl - C) - another boring catcher
SP C. Young (Tex - SP) - i like his potential, and the move to S.D might be a +
SP V. Padilla (Phi - SP) - bleh.
RP T. Hoffman (SD - RP) - i dont see myself taking relief or closers with my 3 picks
RP J. Mesa (Pit - RP) - *
RP S. Linebrink (SD - RP) - *
P R. Madson (Phi - RP) - *
P D. Wheeler (Hou - RP) - *
P Al. Reyes (StL - RP) - *
BN J. Lackey (LAA - SP) - Nice surprise last year, LAA look improved this year.
BN J. Suppan (StL - SP) - Hard to pass up a top 3 roto SP on a great team
BN J. Thomson (Atl - SP) - naaaaay
BN R. Clemens (??? - SP) - I have to make my choices in the next couple days, im sure Clemens wont make his by then.
BN B. Moehler (Fla - SP,RP) - was a late pickup, back to the draft with him
DL C. Wang (NYY - SP) - looking ok this spring, appears to be healthy

Helton and Clemens are the only ones I would really want to keep. Maybe Estrada.

Simms · 03-23-2006, 11:20 PM

Helton, Gomes, and Lackey would be my picks, I think...nobody else really close. Hoffman, maybe, but I guess it depends on what the remaining pool of closers is going to look like.

Ditto. I read over his list and immediately thought those 3 would be best.

Mustang · 03-23-2006, 11:41 PM

Ya.. pretty thin choices.

ISiddiqui · 03-23-2006, 11:46 PM

Btw, if you are scared of Helton... Chipper is a pretty decent choice.

Ramzavail · 03-24-2006, 05:09 AM

pretty weak team.

I'd go Helton, Chipper, Lackey

Celeval · 03-24-2006, 08:22 AM

I thought Helton, Chipper, Lackey as well.

chinaski · 03-24-2006, 12:05 PM

thanks guys, mucho appreciated. Im surprised no one took Giambi, I was contemplating him for a bit. Hes looking horrid this spring, but that usually doesnt mean much. I hate him anyways, so to the draft heap with him.

Im going with Helton, Chipper and Lackey.

I almost took Hoffman instead of Lackey, but i think i can grab him or even possibly a better SV man in the draft. I want Gomes back on the team, im hoping he'll go unnoticed for a little bit. Y! has him ranked pretty low starting out this year and OF is always deeep. and damn you Clemens.

ISiddiqui · 03-24-2006, 12:10 PM

In a keeper league, Gomes will be picked up quicker than you think. You better go after him sooner than you would in a one year league.

BuffaloHuskey · 03-24-2006, 02:08 PM

I like Gomes, Helton, and Lackey.
