I've always been a baseball fan but I've never joined a fantasy League. I have 3 teams to choose from, its a 10 team keep 15 league.
There are 8 Hitting categories (R, HR, RBI, SB, TB, AVG, OBP, XBH) and 8 Pitching categories (W, SV, K, HLD, ERA, WHIP, K/9, QS).
I have a good idea which team I should take and who to keep but I am a rookie fantasy baseball guy so I'm always looking for help/advice . Thanks for the help.

Man, for a 10 team league, those three teams aren't very good. LOL!
I would probably take team 1 if its me. I prefer the hitters on that team and the pitchers arent quite as good as team 3, but they have some pretty solid pitchers just the same.

Definitely between teams 1 and three but I give the edge to 3.
See some serious upside in guys like EE, Kemp (risk I know but the upside is there) and a big fan of Rizzo.

Thanks for the responses. I've decided to go with team 3. Now the question of Keepers.
This is what I'm thinking, what do you think? There are a few that I'm still debating. Thx again for the help

How does your league do keepers? Just keep a certain number of players?
I'd hate to see you let Gyorko go. I think hes going to have a big year.

Yeah its just Keep 15.
I've been wishy washy on my last few keepers as well. In the last 24hr i've used any combination of those 6 as well as Matt adams, though his potential part time status has changed that. Thanks for the responses, got a few weeks to make my final decision. hmm haha

My choice would be team 3 as you've got a good mix of Hitters and pitchers and the age factor is better with upside of younger players.
