    Votto, Bruan, and Utley. Might as well just pick your best available players.

    It was tough picking between Chase Utley and Josh Hamilton, but I would go with Utley because you get the Best at his position, and you can build the rest of your OF with just Braun, he's just that good.

    The only reason I pass on Price and Liriano is that there are better available pitchers, and you may be able to get one of them if you can draft them early, pending they are kept by their owners.

    Simply put, your top 3 keepers are much better than if you re-drafted the whole team. That being said you can shift priority to drafting a pitcher early, maybe one or two even better than Price and Liriano.

    The choices are top-tier, which eliminates both Price and Liriano right off the bat.

    Joey Votto's 5-tool, triple crown production mkaes him a given KEEPER.

    Ryan Braun's ability to produce 5-tool also makes him a KEEPER.

    Last choice depends on if there's any difinitive news on Utley's knees before you have to turn in your chosen keeper list. Utley is the clear favorite for the 3rd spot, but if his knees don't hold up, there's no crying over spilt milk and move onto the next best thing for your team. Mark Teixeira NYY 1B.

    Good Luck with your decision!

    i does not probably prefer to waster a keeper spot on a closer, he incredibly supplies you with one stat and the skill to %. up saves off the waiver cord during the season is far less difficult than the different stat. i might depart out Nathan and Reyes, Granderson, Phillips and McClouth could make up for the runs and steals that Reyes might get you.
