Miguel Cabrera's 1 of my 4 keepers & need to decide on 3 more out of these below.

Matt Holliday
Carlos Santana
Josh Johnson
Ian Kennedy
Michael Pineda
Mat Latos
Colby Lewis
Johan Santana
Mariano Rivera

I had Robinson Cano, Adrian Gonzalez, & Justin Upton for the past 3 years that I can't keep any more based on league rules.

JJ is good, but way too much risk

PIneda had an ERA over 5 in the 2nd half last year..you'd rank him over:

Ian Kennedy--Who struck out 200 and went 21-4.
Josh Johnson--All reports are healthy, and when he's healthy is a top 10 SP.

Latos and Pineda are the only close ones, would you rather start Pineda against the Sox, Rays, Orioles, Blue Jays on a nightly basis?? Or Latos in NL Central.

He's a low end SP2 IMO. No shame in keeping him. There just so happens to be some pretty legit pitchers on that roster

I don't like Kennedy. I owned him last year, coulda kept him if I wanted to. I think that was his career year last year.

Sure, Johnson is a better pitcher when healthy. But have fun with having him for a half season or so.

Latos has the tools. But he has some mental issues.

And Pineda is far from a sure thing. But I think his upside is higher than the rest, save a healthy JJ

And touls, I know he had a 5+ era in the Second half. I traded for him, so I looked at all that. I attribute it to wearing down/first year in the majors. Now that he's more stretched out I think his first half will last longer. Just my opinion. Maybe people figured him out. Maybe he only had success due to Seattle. Who knows. I'm going with Pineda over Kennedy/Johnson/Latos though. If I'm wrong, it won't be the first or last time. But I don't think it's a crazy move.
