Looking for some advice.
We are in a 5X5 roto league, we can keep 4 players.
We have Utley, A-Rod, Jeter, K-Rod and Oswalt.
Who would you keep?
Thanks
Dave

hello Dave...
If the perceived drop-down to the next second-baseman is for real, I suppose Utley is an obvious #1 Keeper.
Roy O. is a true ace who will still be at a prime age (29) for 5 months of the season, with ERA's under 3 four of the last six years (with a 3.01 tossed in) so it wouldn't be wise to toss him away. If you have the luxury of starting him primarily at home...he also figures to give you a nice sub-1.10 spike in the WHIP category.
As for K-Rod...the Angels figure to be a team yielding a great number of Save-opps, and his perennially high K-rate surely ought to be a nice complement to OZ's slightly dropping K/9.
That leaves us with a toss-up between A-Rod & Jeter. I suppose the fact that they won't be doing "sleep-overs" together any longer is a bit of a factor (hahaha!!) but even more importantly, if you have an idea of which of their positions will be most shallow in the re-draft pool, that may be the over-riding consideration. A true coin-flipper, in my opinion!!
