Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

Minor league keepers



Ok, so I know everyone loves dynasty questions, but i figured I'd give it a shot. I need to keep 4 of the following guys, and I have a pretty good idea of who I'm holding on to, but I wanted to see if I was close with what everyone else thinks.

 

Casey Kelly

Nick Franklin

Jacob Turner

Brandon Belt

Devin Mesoraco

Simon Castro

Tanner Scheppers

Derek Holland (I know he's not a prospect/rookie anymore but I curious what people think)

 

Thank you all in advance.

I think Kelly and Turner are easy. After that I’d think about what kind of opportunity these guys are going to have at the big league level. I like Belt and I also like Tanner Scheppers. Neftali Feliz could move into the Rangers rotation this year and Scheppers has a good shot of becoming their closer in the next year or so.

Turner, Belt, Franklin, Mesoraco

and its a pretty easy decision.

If everybody likes you, then either no one knows anything about you, or you're dead.

This would be mine

Although with Kelly now in the Padres organization he could put up frontline numbers in that park despite being more of a midrotation guy.

Franklin v. Kelly is close, but I almost always give an edge to the position player

by PrincetonCubs on Feb 13, 2011 11:01 AM EST up reply actions  

Belt, Turner and Mesoraco are the easy calls

I give the edge to Kelly but could make a case for Franklin as well.

Tough Calls

I’d keep Nick Franklin, Brandon Belt, and a couple nice arms Jacob Turner, and a surprise, Simon Castro

Thanks guys..

I’m surprised there’s not really any love for Castro. I guess with the other arms he’s kind of an afterthought.

by getupkid82 on Feb 13, 2011 1:18 PM EST reply actions  

I agree

I’d actually take him over all the arms listed. Not an easy choice – Turner is very talented but, I worrry about injury. Castro is big, strong, and has been durable. I don’t know why anybody would like Casy Kelly more than Castro. I must be missing something. Of course Castro does have the flaw of never playing in the Red Sox’ system – big drawback for him :)

I agree that Belt, Turner & Mesoraco are the (nearly) no-brainers. I’d also add Kelly, especially in the new park/league.

by gogotabata on Feb 13, 2011 2:27 PM EST reply actions  

No one is keeping Holland?

I just dont get that at all. I think hes a lot closer to what we saw in Game4 of the ALCS then what we saw in the WS. Im hard pressed to take anyone on this list over him.
