I don't think it's a good idea to keep Chapman (or any other reliever for that matter) over any of the players you listed. Good decision/self-analysis.
do you guys still have the same advice?
My original keep 6 (12-team league):
1. Miggy
2. Trout
3. Stanton
4. Posey
5. Stras
6. Bum
Though before I got some opinions on keeping Chapman over Posey or Bum. I feel like I can't pass up on a stud catcher like Posey. I decided to keep Bum since from what I've seen...he isn't dominating like Stras, but I've seen Bum just completely own games. Maybe its the homer in me that wants to keep him. Chapman is a great closer...but I don't know if I'd want to keep him if that is going to be his role (and not convert to a starter). Why would Cinci take him out of there? Also would his "dead arm" in the latter part of the season be of concern (especially if he is converted)?

I wouldn't change a thing either, chapman may be dominating and really young but it's unclear weather he will be a starter or closer in the future. I'd stick with bum.
thanks guys for the responses! submitted my keepers. i hope bum gets another chance to redeem himself during the playoffs...assuming the giants can actually put up more than a couple runs and survive cinci.
