Food For Thought...Keepers

So I'm hoping to promote discussion on this site rather than through reply-alls over emails. Given that Joey just brought up the point regarding keepers, who do you think has the best collection of keepers? I will list my rankings below, without listing players. I wouldn't want to give anyone any ideas.
  1. Grant (5 premium names, with a potential for 6)
  2. Veno (best INF in league history?)
  3. Metalheads (5 premium names and a few solid candidates for the 6th spot)
  4. DC (might have best collection of SP, and an eclectic group of offensive players )
  5. Rooters (4 definites, another one who could be the best of the 5, and some depth to choose a 6th)
  6. Flats (4 deep and then some risk, but there are names on the short list)
  7. Rockers (only 3 great ones, but 2 other strong ones and 1 tempting injury)
  8. Labatt (three easy choices and then some decisions need to be made
  9. Warriors (I dont like the high end guys, but he's built some good depth)
  10. Thunderlips (top notch pitching, offense needs complete overhaul)
  11. Charlie (I think he has 4 strong ones with enough to make 6 if he chooses)
  12. Patrick (1 slam dunk K and another likely, otherwise there's nothing)

    1. Pilgirms - 7 definite keepers
    2. Music - 6 definite keepers, with 3 who would be keepers on some other teams
    3. Dynasty - 5, plus 2 borderline
    4. Metalheads - 5, plus 1 borderline.
    5. Rockers - 5, plus 3 borderline.
    6. Warriors - 4, plus 3 borderline. (Mike Stanton's goal for 2011: To crush his enemies, see them driven before him, and to hear the lamentation of their women.)
    7. Rooters - 4, plus 3 borderline
    8. Flats - 3, plus 4 borderline
    9. Labatt - 3, plus 4 borderline
    10. Tlips - 2, plus 5 borderline

    1) Pilgrims - 7 keepers, 5 of them being elite/great keepers, 2 solid options for 6th keeper.
    2) Metalheads - 4 elite/great keepers, 2 already fantastic young players who haven't taped into their potential.
    3) Music - 5 elite/great keepers with 1 keeper having potential to be great. Issue is, this team has older, and possibly injury prone players (Mauer/Tex/Utley>
    Tier
    4) Rockers - 5 solid keepers, with a few choices for a 6th. Love the dominating lefty combo.
    5) DC - 6 keepers, not thrilled with Howard/Greinke.
    Tier
    6) Rooters - I can see 6 keepers but there's alot of injury risk/youth risk
    7) Warriors - Has 6 keepers, with a few elite/great keepers, with some risk.
    8) Labatt - 3 elite/great keepers with 1 solid keeper, some pretty crappy choices after that, which involve major risk.
    9) Flats - I see 2 elite/great, 1 solid and 1 "should be" solid, and a few of questionable keepers.
    Tier
    10) Scorgasms - I see 7 possible keepers, 3 solid but a lot of them are old and deteriorating.
    11) Tlips - Great starting pitching but absolutely horrid hitting. Easily the worst set of keepers I have seen Tlips own.
    Tier
    12) Yellow Stars - 1 keeper, 1 border line keeper.

    I love how Joey puts himself in the top tier. The continued overconfidence is comical. Keep winning those December titles.

    Cliff Lee to the NL? Cole Hamels a fourth starter? Good times.

    You know, I was going to let Tom's little comment slide, but I saw an interview today with David Wright. Wright was talking about the Phillies acquiring Cliff Lee and how, and I quote, "You don't crown any champions in December or January". I see a lot of similarities between the two. Firstly, they really like using that december-championship jab. Secondly, Wright and Tom are both talented players (in their respective hobbies/careers) but unfortunately for both, they don't have enough talent around them to get where they want to be next season.

    David Wright is a wise man. He appreciates the fact that the primary competition of the Flats, the Boston Pilgrims, are projected to keep a #4 starter.

    I have reconsidered my A-Rod position coming into this draft and will be entertaining offers in the form of draft picks for Mr. Rod. Please contact me at ckriete@gmail.com.
