Hi guys. I'm new to this forum. I run 2 5 x 5 roto leagues in Wisconsin (AL only since 1991, NL only since 1995).
They are both keeper leagues (5 players). I'd like some advice from objective experts on my 5th player in the AL and my 4th and 5th in the NL.
In the AL I'm rock solid on 1.Manny Ramirez, 2.Alfonso Soriano, 3.Joe Nathan, 4.Mark Teixara. For my 5th my choices are: Jeremy Bonderman, Casey Blake, Joe Mauer, Kevin Mench and Garret Anderson.
In the NL my rock solids are 1.Mark Prior, 2.Adam Dunn. I'm pretty sure I should protect 3.Aramis Ramirez. My final 2 I have to choose from Carlos Zambrano, David Wright, Chris Carpenter, Lance Berkman and AJ Burnett.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Thanks Joe Mauer is a stone cold lock for your AL squad.
Zambrano and David Wright seem clear cut favorites for your NL powerhouse.

I agree with Zambrano and Wright, but I would go with Mench for the AL. Mauer's knee is too balky...
Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics. You 'take in' a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.

In the AL, Bonderman is a stud in the making, you have not protected any starting pitching
In the NL, Wright and Burnett. Zambrano seems to wear down in the 2nd half and a healthy Burnett could put you over the top
Just my opinion of course

NL I WOULD GO ZAMBRANO AND WRIGHT, BECAUSE THEY WOULD COST THE MOST . BUT I LOVE AJ BURNETT MAYBE YOU COULD GET HIM AT A POSSIBLE KEEPER PRICE FOR NEXT YEAR. A. L. MAUER OR BONDERMAN YOU COULD USE EITHER. THATS A TOUGH CALL, MAUER WOULD PROBABLY COST MORE.TAKE MAUER BUT MAKE SURE YOU GET BONDERMAN OR YOU LIVE TO REGRET IT. EDDIEJAG 2004 A.L.

What a load of injury risks you've got there. Take Bonderman, Wright, Berkman (he'll get healthy soon enough; he'll remain one of the game's best hitters) and an apple a day if you want the doctor's opinion.
