I'm in probably my 4th season now with a keeper league that we run through yahoo. The setup is the worse you finish the more players you get to keep, although how that makes much sense is kind of beyond me, why keep a bunch of crap that kept you at the bottom of the pile. Anyway, I finished 5th so I get to keep 14 players. Here's what I finished with in my dugout last year. My potential keepers are in bold. Anything jump out at to anyone that I ought to reconsider?

It's a 5x5 with these daily positions
C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, CI, MI, IF, LF, CF, RF, OF, OF, Util, Util, SP, SP, SP, SP, RP, RP, RP, RP, P, P, P,

Carlos Delgado NYM 1b
Alex Gordon KC 3b

Travis Hafner CLE 1b

Ramon Hernandez Bal c
Raul Ibanez SEA lf
Conor Jackson ARI 1b
Jason Kendall MIL C
Magglio Ordonez DET rf
Edgar Rentaria DET ss
Alex Rodriguez NYY 3b

Gary Sheffield DET 1b,lf,rf

if you think Zito's going to bounce back, maybe.

Vazquez actually had a pretty good season last year and is almost a lock to give you 180-200 K's.

I'm torn on Zito... not sure what to expect. And I was shocked when I went back and looked at Vazquez's numbers last year.

TE:

That looks like the players I'd want off that team.

Seeing you need a 2B, you could try to hype the spacious new parks Miller and/or Silva will now pitch in to trade for one.

I would wager than Scott Rolen has a higher pain tolerance than almost anyone on this board.

Dave McKay is an extremely genuine and cool guy.

I'd dump Gordon and Keep Ibanez.


Never let a Royal destroy your Team.

Zito for Saito. Saito's age gonna jump up on him soon. Zito gonna bounce back.
