keeper advise needed asap

#1 Post by somerandomguy »

keeper lists due by noon est tomorow 4x4 12 team AL only

still having a big Q in my mind about who to keep- have 2 spots for 3 players morrow $5 guthrie $8 and burnett $24

questions

Morrow-$5 hurt- chance he is sent down in the next week to recover arm strength- if sent down i lose the keeper spot upside - pootential closer/starter- although in draft- how expensive can he be if hes not a closer?

Guthrie $8- bad spring makes me concerned- although last year- wasnt he a slow starter? spring # 1-1 era 7.94 1.77 whip 11.1 ip 9 k

Burnett $24 great great spring w a good team behind him- weaker infield though-
pricey although w 25% inflation still value- has been injured 7 of the last 8 seasons- spring # 3-0 era 1.20 whip 0.80 15 ip
if the other 2 didnt have the listed Q marks would be an easy answer- burnett goes- however - i am looking for recommendations

so you are in a al keeper league and morrow $5 guthrie $8 and burnett $24 are your best option for your only 2 keeper spots? i'd say you are in trouble. please tell me you have other keepers.

based on the limited knowledge i would go with burnett and guthrie; but not huge fans of either.

Seeing your other keepers and how much money you are keeping overall would be helpful. If you want to keep 2 of those I would go with Morrow for sure and probably guthrie after that. $24 for Burnett is a lot. If you are not protecting much money though it may be worth it because you will probably be overpaying for people on draft day anyways.

Word now is morrow is going to close so he is now a guranteed keeper. Also you are going to need the money for hitting so would keep guthrie or just let him and burnett go.
