re: 2011 TDBL Keeper Thread

16. Mark Teixeira, 1B, New York Yankees: Don't feel too bad if you miss out on Votto or Gonzalez; Teixeira might actually be better. I just don't know if we can count on him salvaging that batting average after a brutal April every season. In-season trends do matter for fantasy owners, especially in head-to-head formats.
17. Felix Hernandez, SP, Seattle Mariners: Even if he wins only 13 games, the other numbers make him worth this draft slot. Easily.
18. Matt Holliday, OF, St. Louis Cardinals: I nearly placed Ryan Howard or Prince Fielder here -- Howard first -- but I don't feel safe about their respective batting averages. Plus, it's not like they are safe 40-homer, 130-RBI guys anymore. They totaled 191 RBIs between them last season. Holiday always hits for average, his power was on par, he runs enough to matter, and if you need five outfielders in your league, don't wait to start filling those spots in the ninth round.
19. Tim Lincecum, SP, San Francisco Giants: No, I didn't forget him. He and King Felix are about even for me. There will be no World Series hangover, and let's not overrate Lincecum's poor August. He rebounded fine.
20. Justin Upton, OF, Arizona Diamondbacks: By 2013, he will own at least one NL MVP Award.
Who's missing? Alex Rodriguez checks in at No. 21, then Josh Hamilton, Pedroia and Howard/Fielder. I have nothing against these gentlemen. But just because others like A-Rod in their top 10 doesn't mean I need to. There's definite risk here, and not just his health. I don't think he'll steal double-digit bases again, for one. (I suppose that could be related to health.) I think the Yankees will be happy with 140 games from him; A-Rod hasn't played more than that since 2007. Third base is not as deep as first base, so I would take A-Rod over Howard/Fielder. Hamilton is an even bigger injury risk. He's potentially dominant, a batting-title winner with amazing power, but I can't play the every-other-year game with him. Round 3 seems right. Cliff Lee is my next starting pitcher, and you might see three more Red Sox in my top 30, led by Pedroia, but later perhaps featuring Kevin Youkilis and Jon Lester. Adrian Beltre, Ryan Zimmerman, Ichiro Suzuki and Joe Mauer are also borderline third-rounders.

Ichiro is a third rounder, yet isn't a keeper in TDBL, out of 192 players.

As I watched it I was surprised by how easy of a Double Jeopardy question it was.
Then I remembered that every question in the world is easy if you know the answer.

News: According to Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com, the Rangers will stretch out RHP Neftali Feliz as a possible starter this spring. Feliz recently won AL Rookie of the Year honors for his work as a closer. He recorded 40 saves with a 2.73 ERA and a 0.88 WHIP last season.
Analysis: Hard to know what to make of this story yet. Feliz earned elite prospect status for his work as a starter, so he's certainly capable of handling the role, but he was so successful as a closer that you'd almost prefer to see him stick with it. The Rangers have plenty of other rotation candidates and would have to turn to Frank Francisco or Alexi Ogando as their closer if they made a switch, so Feliz is still more likely to stay in the bullpen than not. Still, this news casts some doubt over his draft status entering 2011. You'll want to draft him early, of course -- even as a starter, he could be an impact Fantasy player -- but the possibility of him moving out of a role where he has already established himself as an elite option lowers his value by a round or so.

Quill could always keep that stud with no home Raffy Soriano instead.

Feliz as a starter? Ron Wash must be back on that smokey white devil...

He was always projected to be a starter in the big leagues, Honkasaurus.
