Baseball Keeper: Which 3?
In a keeper league, which 3 would you keep: Encarnacion, Dozier, Springer, Polanco, or Taveras?For background, in my fantasy baseball league, we can keep up to 3 position players. All keepers cost the same (just a last round pick) and there is no limit on how long you can keep them. Players drafted in the first 4 rounds are not eligible, but everyone else is. I don't actually have to make this decision until the end of the year, but with our fantasy trade deadline approaching, I thought I might trade someone that I couldn't keep anyway for better starting pitching.
Dozier is yet another one-season wonder who can't even hit for AVG in his good season...trade him ASAP. Polanco and Taveras was a toss-up for me, but chose Taveras for his long-term, sustainable hitting potential. I don't see Polanco as a consistent major leaguer...think Carl Crawford before injuries, but with more power and less speed. If Springer can hit .260 while hitting 40 HRs, then he's a keeper.
