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?

that's the 14 I'd go with.

I'd go with Barry Zito over Javier Vazquez

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.

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.
