10 PLAYER keeper league H2H: please tell me who to keep for dynasty league (in a vacuum, position for hitters doesnt matter, just pick best hitters overall):
Hitters: Joe Mauer, Eric Hosmer, Dustin Ackley, Jeter, Neil Walker, Brett Lawrie, Jason Heyward, Chris Young (OF), Carlos Quentin, Jayson Werth, Bryce Harper, Mike Trout, Brandon Belt, Dominic Brown, Pedro Alvarez, Jesus Montero, Moustakas….
Pitchers: King Felix, Jared Weaver, Matt Moore, Julio Teheran….
Would removing Jeter, Quentin, Werth, Young, Alvarez, Mauer, Walker make the question more intimidating or are you seriously contemplating them? Do I want to know?
Felix, Weaver, Moore, Teheran, Ackley, Lawrie, Heyward, Harper, Trout, Montero
First to go are Hosmer,, Belt, Moustakas, Brown, think in that order… the rest shouldn’t even be considered….
