    Keeper League Question...

    In a keeper league where we are allowed to resign 2 players with expiring contracts...

    Guys up for consideration are...

    Lincecum - Obviously keeping him...

    Question is who do I keep with my second choice...

    Carlos Zambrano... leaning towards him
    Carlos Beltran... possibility
    R.A. Dickey... probably not but intriguing...

    I also won the "consolation" bracket in our league playoff format to get the first overall pick

    I'm guessing the obvious choice would be to take Bryce Harper...

    but would it make any sense to take any of these guys ahead of him...

    Beltran
    Dickey
    Zambrano
    Chris Sale (league counts holds)
    Angel Pagan

    Thanks in advance for opinions and comments... much appreciated

    As stated above leaning Lincecum and Big Z as keepers and Harper as the first overall pick...

    Close, but I'd lean towards Zambrano as well.

    I would definitely take Harper, no doubt. Especially considering the fact that you don't seem to be competing for an immediate title, the potential of Bryce Harper is too good to pass up. Regarding your second resigning, is there any benefit to not resigning a second player? Like is there a salary cap or something that will give you some sort of benefit to not resign a player? To be quite honest, I'm not to enamored with any of your second choices, so if there is some reason to not resign a second player, I would look into that. Otherwise, I would think you have to resign Zambrano. Minor point, but something you should consider: with Garza now in Chicago, Zambrano may see a slight uptick in wins as he will tend to be facing lesser opponents on the mound. I doubt it will have a huge impact, just something to consider.
