What you think? TIA

I would go with Gardner and Crawford to add some more speed and runs scored assuming this is a categories league. Any combo of Gardner, Crawford, and Freese would be your best bet.

Yeah I am not really thinking about keeping closers since you can usually pick up saves cheap. Plus I am just assuming that not too many guys are going to keep many closers. If they do then I may be screwed.

10 team 5x5 roto league. You can keep any 8 players. It doesn't matter what rd they were drafted in. Which 8 players would you keep? TIA

Per Rotoworld

Mark Prior allowed his first two runs for Triple-A Pawtucket on Monday, but also recorded four strikeouts in 1 1/3 innings of work.Prior has now punched out a remarkable 19 hitters in just eight innings of work, while walking five. 79% of the outs he's recorded (19-of-24) have now come via the strikeout. He's been able to command all of his pitches effectively, his velocity has sat consistently in the 90-93 range, and his devastating curveball appears to have returned. He's getting closer to the point where he may be deemed major league ready, which would be one heck of a story considering the injuries he's had to battle through. Jun 19 - 12:00 PM

Would be a really cool story if this dude came back after all his injuries and pitched well. Just thought I would throw that one out there.

I need some outside non biased input here. This is a 12 team 5x5 daily categories league. You start 1 catcher, 1 1b, 1 2b, 1 3B, 1 SS, 3 OF, 1 utl, 4 SP, 2 RP, and 1 P.

What do you think shoulde this trade be vetoed? TIA

I see your point but I do have depth in the OF and I am tied for last in saves. I do like Frieri potential for saves and his K Rate is sick but is it worth giving up Braun when I already have Street and Storen and Asdrub Cab at SS? Thats my delima. I figue if I do get tulo and frieri I could always try and flip Asdrub Cab for either a 3b or somebody else. I defintly see yalls point thats why I wanted somebody's outside opinion.

Unless there was a rule put in place to stop you from starting multiple closers I would say its fair game. If they dont like it they should make a rule where you have to start X amount of SP, X amount of RP, and X amount of P. Most leagues I play in start 4 SP, 2 RP, and 1 P or 2 SP, 2 RP and 3 P and put a limit to the amount of FA acquisitions you can add for that season to limit streaming 2 start pitchers. If there were dumb enough to put all your pitching spots as P and didnt specify then keep it up. If it dont work you can always trade some of those guys for SP since you seem to have closers on lock down.

Keeper league or not there is no way I would drop pujols unless he had a season ending injury. The guy was a top 3 pick and deserves to see if he can turn it around. I would definitely bench him and hope he starts to light up the AL pitching once he starts to get to see them and know their strategies against him. I understand that kimbrel is the best closers in the game right now but I would still try to get more value out of a top 3 pick first and if I cant get more value then I would make the trade for kimbrel.
