im in a 12 team 5x5 auction league. i won the league last year and the winner of the league can keep up to 7 players for the next year. there is a $100 salary cap and you draft 24 players 9(pitchers) 15 (hitters) you can freeze a player for 1 year after he is auctioned off thats why (froz) is beside some of the players name. player eligibility is only were they played the most games last year. the lowest amount you can buy a player for is $1.00. so who on my roster would you keep for next year any in put would be appreciated here is who im leaning towards.........

howard - i dont know yet i hate paying this much for a 2 maybe 3 tool player
utley- stud no problem paying for the stats he can put up in all categories
upton- hopefully no sophmore slump but for $2.00 hes worth the risk
v-mart- best hitting catcher in the game $6.50 is pretty cheap numbers will only get better if hafner picks it up this year
joba- dont know yet what hes going to do (relief or start) but hes a stud in the making with a great whip and ko potential
gallardo- should be better after a very fast start last year and kind of cooled down toward the end of season but a very big upside fo $2.00
oliver-not sure about him yet but if he cuts down on wildness his ko potential is well worth the $2.00

I'd like to add more and give you some other suggestions but I think you nailed the right guys 100%. Felix Hernandez instead of Howard is an idea but Felix doesn't come that cheap either and he's been hit or miss.

king felix and wells are two of the other players i like and i think both should have bounce back seasons. the problem i have is im cheap i would rather have 10 $6 players than 1 $30 player (thats what pujols went for last year). ive been in this league for 4 years and ive won 3 and finished 3rd the other year and this strategy has always worked. im finding it very hard to find good selections on my team to keep this year with out spending to much money. it was easier last year i had.....haren for $2.50, bedard for $3.00, escobar for $1.00, nathan for $4.00 and magglio for $6.00 that was like stealing. i would really like to hear your(anybodys) suggestions.:toast:
