Keeper Candidates: Whiskey Chuggers

Dee Gordon - $1 - Sb's will be there. Power won't.

Matt Kemp - $36 - Remember when Derrek Lee won the 2005 MVP? Oh, he didn't? Well Kemp went through a similar scenario in 2011. Arguably the best all-around player in the NL if not the league.

Brian McCann - $34 - Hard to defend not keeping the best NL option at catcher. I mean, would you rather keep him or try and draft him cheaper when you know everyone will be after those precious stats at that position. Seriously the best available option if he isn't kept will be Iannetta or Ramos...If you can even afford them.

Hanley Ramirez - $54 - Probably cost Robert's a title last year. Had issues in the field, in the batters box and in the dugout. Now that the free spending Marlins have added some top level talent in Jose Reyes, a reliable yet aging closer in Heat Bell, and the two craziest Venezuelans north of, uh, Venezuela...is this really going to work? You can't have Scarface on the same team as another Scarface. They are going to kill each other! And then Logan Morrison will fucking get sent down for a week as a result.

Pablo Sandoval - $23 - He should produce near the same. He could lower his strike outs.

Drew Stubbs - $18 - K'd 205 times last year as a lead off man for most of the season. Jesus. Had forty steals though. And will play for a good team in a shit division. Gotta love those match ups vs Cubs and ASStros.

Daniel Hudson - $19 - Really nice 2011 for Hudson. Won 15 games and pitched 222 innings.

Anibal Sanchez - $7 - Shit this guy was great last year too. And will probably be better this season with the projected run support.

Drew Storen - $5 - Almost a K an inning while saving 43 games.

Projected keepers: McCann and Kemp. This many excellent options is a nice problem to have.
