Frank Francisco is now with the Blue Jays, and former close C.J. Wilson is already thriving as a starter himself.

After this season, my league will be keeping players although how many we have yet to determine. It is between 3 and 5 players. Would you please rank my top 5 keeper canidates if it is indeed a keep-5 league?

I made it known in my yahoo public league that I was willing to part with some of my Starting Pitching for hitting. Then i got this proposal... Jayson Werth and Mark Reynolds for Johan Santana, I am the owner of Santana at the moment. I accepted the deal, but Im not so sure it's a fair trade or will be a successful trade after the 2 day veto period. What do you think?

We each keep 5 players apiece, here's my issue.

I own a good amount of keepable players, but the ones I let back into the draft pool won't make it back to me because I finished 2nd last season and will have the 13th overall pick.

Dustin Pedroia BOS 2B

Alex Rodriguez NYY 3B

Hanley Ramirez FLA SS

Prince Fielder MIL 1B

are 4 players that I'm pretty set on keeping for this season - barring spirng training injuries and setbacks. (We have a late March draft date)

My other options are Josh Johnson FLA SP, David Price TBR SP, Jose Reyes NYM SS and Buster Posey SFG C.

The league has 7x7 scoring and makes pitchers as valuable as hitters. I wanted to keep Posey to have a complete infield, but Im torn and feel that Josh Johnson may be the better choice considering the league scoring and how many other elite SPs are already being kept by the other teams. What do you think I should do with my 5th spot?

Standard 5x5 stat cats + Hits and OPS for sluggers and Total Bases and K/BB for pitchers.

Both didn't live up to their ADPs in 2010, and burned a lot of teams who tried to gamble by picking them early in drafts considering SS is a depth-thin position. This season their ADPs haven't changed much, meaning the fantasy community has faith that these players will comeback strong, or that the fantasy community is serving the "SS Depth is Thin" idea and not learning from their mistakes in 2010 big boards.

So who's a better bounce back canidate, will both? maybe neither? You decide.

They keep 7 players per team and the team I took over didn't have 7 quality keepers IMO.

First 6 keepers are Crawford, ARod, Lincecum, Heyward, Uggla, Jered Weaver.

Last spot is between Derek Jeter, Aramis Ramirez and B.J. Upton.

Who would you keep and why?

Yovani Gallardo MIL SP

Francisco Liriano MIN SP

Dan Haren LAA SP

?

My league scoring is as follows.. 1 pt. per 25 pass yds., 6 pts per pass TD, -1 per INT, 1 pt. per 10 rush yds, 6 pts. per rush TD, 1 pt. per 10 rec. yds., 6 pts. per rec. TD, 6 pts. per ret. TD, 2 pts. per 2 pt. conv., -1 per fumble lost, 8 pts. per offensive fumble return TD.

I can only keep 3 players for next season, help me decide?

Miles Austin WR DAL, Marques Colston WR NO, Antonio Gates TE SD, Ray Rice RB BAL, Michael Turner RB ATL, Michael Vick QB PHI, DeAngelo Williams RB CAR.

Thanks for your help! It's a 10-team h2h league.

We have a keeper league (in its 4th season) with 2 open spots. We are looking for 2 managers who will be active all year and check their team on a daily basis. You would inherit a team that will have good players, and you would choose 6 keepers. We would have a Live Draft sometime in March. This is a 10 team league.

We would prefer that you have some good fantasy sports background (a.k.a. Top Contributors in this section), but the most important thing is that you will be active.

Again, this is a keeper league, so this is not a 1 year commitment.

If you wish to join, please post the reason why you should join in the answer to this question and send me an email through Yahoo Answers with your email so I can send you the needed information.

Also, if you guys could star this question so all of your contacts can see it, that would be great.

Thanks!

I am also in this league, and it's basically like being a part of the Yahoo experts' league. There are roster moves every day, and we got up well over 1,000 posts on the league message board every year. There are plenty of current and former Top Contributors from here at the Y!A Fantasy Sports section.

Here's one of my fantasy basketball rosters. Im currently in third place, but it's a tight race through the whole league, and I could easily fall as far as eighth in one week's worth of h2h's.
