keeper help
12 team 6×6 head to head with 8 keepers (we count holds and QS). I plan on keeping: Miguel Cabrera, Justin Upton, Felix Hernandez, David Price… Need to pick 4 out of the following group: Craig Kimbrel, Mariano Rivera, Chase Utley, Brett Lawrie, Pablo Sandoval, and Brett Gardner.
My gut says I should go with Kimbrel, Lawrie, Sandoval, and Gardner. That would overload me at corner. Advice?
Im really not feeling Utley at all... but is Gardner keeper worthy?

utley
outfielders are a dime a dozen especially ones not in the top 20 or so at the position.

I wouldn't keep Gardner
Utley has the potential to put up a star season, and is certainly better trade-bait than Gardner.

I would look to trade Utley early, though
He has degenerative patellar tendinitis, a chronic knee problem, so I would look to move him quickly for a good young 2B like Kipnis or Ackley and another piece.

Or package him with one of your 3Bs
for a stud 2B like Cano, Pedroia, Kinsler. Since you are definitely heavy at 3B.

yeah… i know… Im trying to work a trade… ive made 2 offers for cano… Panda + Utley or Panda + mariano or Panda + price…
im not wanting to trade lawrie… the cano owner is just being stubborn.

Utley is the consensus
Utley could bounce back to top-5 at his position. Brett Gardner has good speed, and there’s the Yankees lineup bonus, but if you can nab a speedy buy later in the draft, I don’t see why you should keep Gardner, especially if you have one OF already in Upton. Gardner isn’t going to pull an Ellsbury and hit 30 HR.

Thanks All
This is helpful… Ive been reconsidering and - in the absence of a trade - i think gardner is def more replaceable than utley..
Im gonna miss my pitching staff… matt moore and michael pineda are tough to let go… but pitching is easy to find.

WAIT A MINUTE!!!
You never mentioned Matt Moore in the OP. Keep him over both Gardner and Utley. Without question.

Pitchers like Matt Moore are NOT easy to find
That kid is going to be a superstar, possibly as soon as this year. Do not let him go.

yes, it is important to list your complete roster in questions like this.
Keep Moore over Utley or Gardner.
