Keep Hill. Even if he regresses to 25hr/100rbi's this year, that's dynamite from the 2B position. You have solid players at your CI already so you can afford to let Zimmerman go.
Can't decide on who I should keep?
we have: 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, MI, CI as infield positions.... I have Miguel Cabrera and Álex Rodríguez as my 1st and 3rd keepers, but probably won't be keeping a SS, 2B (unless I keep Hill) or MI.
If I keep Zimmerman he'll be my CI and Hill would obviously take up my 2B slot.
I think Hill will regress this year and their both on pretty bad teams, but i feel like Zimmerman will get more points for me this year. But my lack of players in the MI makes me think I should take Hill.
Also we don't have to pick our keepers by positions. We keep any 7 batters
What do you guys think? Thanks in advance!

Whiskey Jacks is right. Hill's value at 2nd base is worth more then Zimmer at 3rd. Plus, I expect less regression from Hill then I would from Zimmer. And yes, both team's are bad (though I think they'll be slightly better then people think).
Going against the grain and say keep Zimmerman. Although I think we've seen Zimmerman's ceiling, thiink it will be much harder to redraft him then Hill - plus there's a glut of 2B you can get this year.
That being said, keeping Hill isn't a terrible choice - they're both extremely close, but I think Hill doesn't even exceed 25 HR/100 RBI.
I really like Zimmerman but you already have A-Rod for 3b and 2b is so hard to fill. I expect a slight dropoff for Hill and feel Zimmerman will continue to improve but the lack of depth at the 2b position send the nod over to Hill.
I have to agree with DJ here. Looking at (short) career #'s Zimmer has been more productive and provided consistantly bigger #'s than hill. Hill's numbers look like an anomaly when looking at previous season #'s. Zimmerman's #'s are better, I go with him and send Hill packing.

Thanks for all the help guys! Dobber Baseball is really as good as Dobber Hockey
However, this disscussion is somewhat in vain... My apologies.
I traded Hill, Beckett and Jeter for H. Rameriez.
I don't feel so bad because IMO I killed this trade and am quite happy about it.
But thanks for all the great insight guys, I appreciate it!

that's a great trade for you. if it's the trade detailed in another post and you were't going to keep jeter anyway then i say you made out like a bandit on that trade. well done.
As Hammer said, if you're not protecting Jeter you did well. Even if you were, still a trade I'd do.
