I was about to say they should've included Adam Loewen, but they already did. Glad to see him getting the recognition he deserves. Hopefully he'll be able to win 10 or more games for us this year at the tail-end of the rotation.

For the most part teams that keep these guys are teams that aren't keeping them to win in 2007 but later. In my keeper league I may keep one of my four slots as a long term guy. But the fact is that most of those keepers are guys that could be available in middle rounds. If that is the case why not draft them?

The only guy there that I would remotely consider keeping in a league that has 6 or less keepers would be Ervin Santana.

Typically, I don't take my chances on long shot pitching keepers. I usually wait until they have a few seasons under their belt and focus on offense.

Yeah, I do agree. It is best if you can find a balance between the Future and the Now.

I agree in Fantasy Baseball hitters are more importent then Pitchers. But I posted them for understanding the Keepers help you in redraft leagues in 2 years if you remember the players you read about.

I'm over 50 hour weeks, plus two hours a day of commuting time. A few weeks ago I launched my own blog about Seattle Sounders FC and Life in Puget Sound. I won't be by these parts often as my focus has changed. Sorry about the unannounced retirement.
