    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.

    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.

    If you're going with team 3 I think I'd rather see these guys as you keepers. Dumped Frazier/Quintana/Porcello in favour of Archer/Wieters/Gyorko.

    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.
