Same league as Thayer.
8 keepers, 2 homegrown talent exceptions.

I also have a secondary question. Should I just fold my team and give up or do I have a shot at being competitive next year?

C: V-Mart
1B: Jason Giambi
2B: Robinson Cano
SS: Miguel Tejada
3B: Melvin Mora
MI: Rich Aurilia
CI: Freddy Sanchez
OF: Luis Gonzalez
OF: Ken Griffey Jr.
OF: Corey Patterson
OF: Randy Winn
Util: Dan Uggla

SP: Jose Contreras
SP: Chien Ming Wang
SP: Pedro Martinez
SP: Jeremy Sowers
SP: Joe Blanton
RP: Bobby Jenks
RP: Jonathan Broxton
RP: Latroy Hawkins
RP: Ron Villone
RP: Jamie Walker

Bench SP: Zach Duke, Tony Armas


Minor Leaugers of Note: Adam Lind, Rajai Davis, Hunter Pence, Scott Elbert.






The way I have it planned out in my head I'm gonna keep: V-mart, Tejada, Giambi, Cano, Patterson, Jenks, Contreras and Wang.

My 2 home-grown talent guys are between Uggla, Sowers and Broxton. I have to choose two of the three. I'm leaning towards dropping Broxton as he probably won't close next year.

Anyone think differently?

Should I just fold my team?

Dont fold. Your keepers are fine. Sowers and Uggla are fine as well.

Victorino and Cabrera are being kept with exemptions cuz I've pretty much got nothing else to use them on. So aside from those two, I need 8 more keepers. Right now I'm thinking Pujols, Figgins, Damon, Carpenter, Nathan and some combination of Johjima, LaRoche, Chavez, Beckett, Maddux, and Lee.

thoughts?

Re: 2007 Fantasy Baseball Keeper Thread
 

We can keep 6 in this league. Its a 10 team league and
the catagories are a little weird.
Offensive Categories: R, H, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI, SB
Pitching Categories: W, L, Sv, Ks, ERA

Player - Batting
Carlos Beltrán (NYM - OF)
Miguel Cabrera (Fla - 3B,OF)
Luis Castillo (Min - 2B)
Brian Giles (SD - OF)
Marcus Giles (SD - 2B)
Vladimir Guerrero (LAA - OF)
Ramón Hernández (Bal - C)
Matt Holliday (Col - OF)
Julio Lugo (Bos - 2B,3B,SS)
Hideki Matsui (NYY - OF)
Justin Morneau (Min - 1B)
Mark Teixeira (Tex - 1B)
Josh Willingham (Fla - C,OF)

Player - Pitching
Josh Beckett (Bos - SP)
Jeremy Bonderman (Det - SP)
Francisco Cordero (Mil - RP)
Tom Gordon (Phi - RP)
Bobby Jenks (CWS - RP)
Jon Lieber (Phi - SP)
Fernando Rodney (Det - RP)
Ben Sheets (Mil - SP)
Scot Shields (LAA - RP)
Brandon Webb (Ari - SP)
Tim Worrell (SF - RP) - Retired
Chris Young (SD - SP)

Beltran, Cabrera, Vlad, Morneau, Tex seem like they are definites.
Should I go with Holliday or a SP for my 6th keeper?

It would also be a hard pick between Webb, Sheets and Bonderman who I feel are all potential top 10SP.

Re: 2007 Fantasy Baseball Keeper Thread
 

I would go with Webb.

You will lose lots of respect if you fold your team.

Don't be a pussy.

LOL, I didn't know I had any respect anyway.

I didn't know this was such a serious league. I'll probably keep playing anyway even if it's hopeless because the league was a lot of fun but why would anyone care if I folded?

I'll take your team if you dont want it.

Kemp and Reyes are my homegrown guys and i've got Markakis and Billingsley stashed away in my minors

obv Bay and Rollins, then the pitchers Haren, Myers, and Ray

so then three from this list: Hunter, Helton, Escobar, Fuentes, Barrett, maybe one or two more

Re: 2007 Fantasy Baseball Keeper Thread
 

Just a friendly reminder. Markakis won't be eligible for your minor league roster next year. He's got too many ABs.
