Keeper Candidates: Cleveland Steamers

Brandon Belt - $1 - Lots of upside. Could belt 20 dingers.

Jay Bruce - $25 - A common theme with the Reds hitters: high power with high strike outs. You take the good, you take the bad...

Corey Hart - $1 - Last seasons keeper. Tough to find this good of an option for a buck. How will his numbers look with out Fielder?

Michael Morse - $1 - Two positions. Sure there are better options at first base but not on this team. Morse had awesome numbers last season after a slow start. And he is in his prime.

Brandon Phillips - $26 - Second base options wont come any better or cheaper. Well, they may cum cheaper if they're whores or Skip Schumaker. But seriously, Weeks and Utley are health risks and Uggla can't decide if he likes hitting or sittin the bench.

Aramis Ramirez - $20 - Had a healthy and productive 2011. But can he stay healthy in 2012 when he turns 34?

Giancarlo Micheal "Fausto Carmona Leo Nunez" Stanton - $30 - It's only a matter of time before Dean demands that we call him Gary.

Dan Uggla - $39 - For Uggla, the first half of the '11 season was like Chinese Democracy and the second half was like Use your Illusions II. Awful and pretty good but not as good as it could and should have been.

John Axford - $1 - God damn, why don't i just list who not to consider keeping. Uh, Bastard and Milone. That's got a ring to ring. Like a clothing line or some kind of sauce. Bastard and Milone, you're gonna look like the tits. You ain't had fries til you've Bastard and Milone'd them.

Cole Hamels - $23 - Yeah, he's alright.

Josh Johnson - $32 - Strasburg.

Cliff Lee - $40 - Also a fine choice.

Tim Lincecum - $39 - Wiley Wiggins/Mitch Kramer

Projected Keepers: Tough... John Axford and Corey Hart
