For the final team’s analysis, I need to preface it with the fact that this team is the league’s whipping boy. He tends to say and do stupid things but he firmly believes that whatever he does will make his team better. So without further ado, what follows will be an interesting case.
Rule #1: Never keep a first rounder. This eliminates Russ Martin (1) and Dan Haren (1). This does not eliminate Alex Rodriguez (1).

Our 6th installment is one that’s going to make our decisions fairly difficult. To see all of the other ones check here while seeing the round cost here.
< ?xml:namespace prefix = o />Rule #1: Never keep a player in the first round. This one hurts me but it eliminates Hanley Ramirez (1), Fielder (1), and Hamels (1). The one that hurts is Hanley. He gives such and incredible blend of power and speed that it is scary. The one knock on him is that his scoring and RBI opportunities may not be there. Even in his amazing run of two years driven in an average of about 70 RBIs.
Rule #2: Never keep a catcher. This eliminates Shoppach (16) even though he’s had a good year. Catchers never play every game and if they do they’ll wear down at the end.

You can see the first four here, here, here, and here. You can see what the value would cost here.
Rule #1: Never keep a first rounder, unless Utley and Rodriguez. I need to amend that slightly in this case because he could keep Pujols in the 1st round but I would only do it if he’s drafting near the end of the first round. For now, I’m ruling Pujols out though because we don’t know where he’s going to draft and there is the risk of Pujols getting the surgery. This eliminates Pujols (1), Rios (1), and verlander (1).
Rule #2: Never keep a closer if he costs more than a 5th rounder. He does have Papelbon and it would only cost a 6th rounder so he looks like a very promising choice to keep.
