that's tough, I don't see a lot of standout keepers on this team, but if it were me, I'd keep Sheffield, Berkman, Ordonez, Beckett and Oswalt

I'll add Abreu, Dotel and Pierre. Abreu is good enough to warrant a spot on a keeper league, Pierre can't hurt you in the SB department and Dotel just rocks.

I got to agree with elfudge 35 on this, but Pierre and the YOUNG Crawford need to be considered because of the hard to find stolen base category.

I see some great keepers on this team IMO..

If you can keep 5, I would take the ones Elf has selected except Beckett, who I would replace with Abreu....

Your OF and UTIL are already covered and that is a nice OF....Also you have a good starter to build on....

I'm with SO here. Keep Crawford. He's already amongst the best in the AL and I feel he is still learning to hit. Even a moderate increase in OBP next season and Crawford could be a real force.

As for the others, Guru is right. I'd probably keep Abreu over Beckett.

I don't know, I really see Beckett faulting himself into the elite class of starters next year and I couldn't let him go back into the draft personally, and I see no point in keeping 4 outfielders when the outfield is the deepest position in fantasy baseball, and steals are easier to come by than you think you can easily pick up a guy like Alex Sanchez and boost your steal total, but with the keepers I recommended, you'd really have to look for some steal guys in your middle infield in the draft next year like Luis Castillo
