Fantasy Baseball 2012 Keeper Advice

by TheFranchise on Dec 29, 2011 12:41 PM EST

Well with Fantasy Football coming to an end and Fantasy Basketball just keeping me busy till Baseball starts I was thinking about the Keeper decision I must make for my Fantasy Baseball League.

Here's some background about our league.

10 Teams, 5 Keepers, Head to Head Points.

Here's the current Starting Roster.

1C
1 1B
1 2B
1 SS
1 3B
3 OF
3 UTL
6 SP
2 RP (Closers)

Here is the current Scoring Settings.

As you can see this league rewards good pitching, as it punishes bad pitching big time.

My current options are

My thinking is

Josh Johnson (I'm a Marlins Fan)
Adam Wainwright (Monitoring his progress)
Jered Weaver
Evan Longoria
Troy Tulowitzki

I'd love to fit in Price. He's definitely the option if Johnson or Wainwright have setbacks in Spring.
Should I completely dismiss Wainwright or Johnson for Price?
Thanks

Spring

I’d say that if you can wait until Spring to make the decision, you should see how Wainwright or Johnson are doing with their rehab. If I had to make a choice right now, I’d probably put Johnson third.

I think I would keep Price over JJ….as he is healthy and JJ has proven he cannot stay healthy. I know it would be tough to walk away from keeping him, but he missed most of 2011 with his second shoulder injury, and have to say I am worried that he may eventually go under the knife. He has been shut down in each of the last two seasons.

I would keep Price, Wainwright, Weaver, Tulo and Longo.

Who knows what happens after TJ. I wouldn’t be surprised if JJ gets hurt again, but he could very well give you 6-8 weeks of dominant pitching and you can flip him. Wainwright, though, could very well give you a mediocre year next year while he rounds back in to form.
