ESPN and their player rater & rankings are trash.
J. Upton > Granderson > BJ Upton.

you dont dump a 40 HR hitter for BJ Upton just because he is out a month and a half. so retarded

BJ Upton is barely a keeper in the 8 and 12 man keeper leagues i play in.

much less a league where you keep 3 guys

Good points Earl. The other board I posted this in... most have it down as an Mauer, Upton, Kimbrel battle.

If you must keep a brave, keep kimbrel.

I saw a piece on mauer the other day about how target field is the absolute worst park for him to play in, power wise. They noted how Mauers power allies (left to left center) are further back at target than they were at the metrodome. They showed numerous of his deep hits to LF that cleared the imaginary Metrodome fence that they superimposed on the screen, but the ball was always caught by the left fielder.

Though in an AVG league, Mauers value is decent.

Dunn had 8 more runs, 13 more HRs, and 18 more RBI than BJ last season. If you are in a 5x5 AVG league, that's the majority of the categories (SBs is the other, and both players avg suck). In an OPS league it's 4 out of 5 cats. And he's plays a less loaded position.

29 players stole 25+ bases in 2012.

18 had 100+ RBI.

12 had 100+ Runs.

6 hit 40+ HRs.

Rondo, upton as a keeper in a 3 player league?

Shouldn't even be considered.

Keep Grandy, keep kimbeel, or keep Mauer. Very easy decision

Adam Dunn will single-handedly cost you batting average every week.

Within the last 2 years, grabderson has hit 40 hr twice, led league in runs, led league in RBI, stole 25 bases, and drove in 100+ runs twice.

Adam Dunn for ya

Or Bj upton

He's a career 240 hitter. Upton is a career 255 hitter. I don't think either are doing you any favors as far as average goes.
