| Final Question for Advice in Keeper League...Beltre or Dee Gordon? Posted by rpg37 Thanks for the help on Strasburg - I'm going with it. Final question now, who would you keep, Dee Gordon ($1) or Adrian Beltre ($22)?  on 3/6 at 3:09 pmBefore you laugh, I am trying to conserve as much money as possible before the draft. Gordon had 24 steals for me last year in two months and could easily pick up 50 in a weak SS field. I feel like he a better bargain than Beltre. Beltre is obviously better, but I feel like I could get him at that price easier than Gordon. Opinions? This post was edited on 3/6 at 3:35 pm Reply • Back to Top |
| if you keep Cain, can you trade Strasburg? or vice versa? id lean on keeping Strasburg. he'll be on an innings limit, but will be more beneficial for the future Reply • Back to Top |
| I love Cain. He's a fricking horse and is consistent as frick. He's no Strasburg though in terms of the ability to dominate. I guess it would depend on the rest of your pitching staff. If you don't have a lot of reliable guys on your team, Cain may be the way to go. Reply • Back to Top |

quote: Well, our draft is March 28. However, I am keeping Kershaw ($10) and Jordan Zimmerman ($1). It's a 10-team league so I plan on those guys being my No. 1 and No. 3/4 depending on the draft. Either one of those guys would be solid No. 2s. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Assuming he stays healthy. It's an intriguing offer. One of the better ones I've seen posted recently. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Then I'd lean towards Strasburg. Reply • Back to Top |
| of course. but I think its worth a gamble if he has Kershaw already to fall back on Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Curious as to why that bit of info helped the decision. Can you please explain? Reply • Back to Top |
| It seems $$ are pretty valuable in your league, w/ Kershaw being $10 and J-Zimm $1. If that's the case, I keep Cain and his lower price tag. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: It is an auction-style draft. We have a $260 budget to select 35 players, of which 25 start. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Kershaw is pretty damn reliable at this point, and allows you to take a chance on Strasburg staying healthy. If you were keeping someone like Ubaldo Jimenez instead or an older guy that could break down, then I would lean towards Cain. I also find it interesting that Stras is 15, Kershaw is 10, and Cain is 10. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Thanks for the info. Stras was selected in the supplemental draft three seasons ago with a $15 bid. In our league, supplemental players do not count towards your salary until they start in the big leagues...so it was non-increasing payroll. Kershaw was $10 two years ago when he was still a bit unknown at 21. His contract, however, will elevate the next few years, quickly, as will Cain. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: then i agree w/ the others..I'd keep Stras. Reply • Back to Top |
| $10 Kershaw is cheap as hell. I'd go high-ceiling, which means Strasburg. Reply • Back to Top |
| who are your other hitters? Reply • Back to Top |
quote: I plan on keeping Carlos Santana ($10), Alex Gordon ($1) and Hunter Pence ($10). Along with my three pitchers, Kershaw, Zimmerman and Strasburg, I have one final roster keeper spot. Reply • Back to Top |
| Who are your other options? That's some cheap keepers, if given the choice, I might have one high-dollar or good value bat and no keep Zimm Reply • Back to Top |
