Baseball Keeper League, pick 3 to keep?

I know I will be keeping Hanley Ramirez and Prince Fielder, but I have a lot of options for my 3rd and final keeper. Help?

A. Wainwright STL SP

J. Beckett BOS SP

J. Vazquez NYY SP

K. Youkilis BOS 1/3

J. Werth PHI OF

C. Granderson NYY OF

J. Morneau MIN 1B

G. Sizemore CLE OF

I can only keep one off this list, my gut instinct was Morneau. Who do you think? An SP or OF?

    my first thought was to keep a pitcher. you can't go wrong for any of those 3 imo.

    but you might want to consider youk. his 1b/3b eligibility makes him more valuable than just his stats. 3b is a pretty shallow position, all the top tier guys will already be keepers. giving him up might mean having to settle for a lesser 3b in the draft.

    I think there will likely be more good SP left on the board that are similar to the ones you have now. same goes for your OF.

    This is tough indeed but I will go with SP Josh Beckett. Ever since me and my entourage played fantasy baseball, we always valued a good starting pitcher. You can stay busy on Free Agency for pitching but it is always great to have a back bone to your pitching. Grady Sizemore is a great player but not consistant and leads lead off hitters in Ks. Curtis Granderson would be my 4th keeper if you had a choice but I just belive in having a good pitcher for any fantasy baseball team. Josh Beckett I think is the most solid bet. Based on the fact he is the ace of one of the best organization who can get Ws (17 Ws and 2nd in AL on Win percentage), solid Ks (1 shy of 200 Ks), and has a great stamina (4 CGs with over 200 IP despite missing some games). Good luck!

    Source(s): My humble opinion.

    since you have prince you don't need a first basemen. there are a bunch of outfielders, keep a pitcher. any of those 3 would be good. if you do want another bat morneau would be my choice. i would take him over prince fielder,
