Top 10 fantasy baseball Keepers for this season: 1. Albert Pujols – Hes still only 27 years old and makes for the top keeper. He is the only player in baseball history to hit .300/30HR/100RBI/99 runs in each of his first 8 seasons in the majors. What else do you want?

2. Hanley Ramirez – The scary thing about Hanley is he can still get better. His upside is insane. Plus he plays SS where theres only 3 great SS’s in the game. What a keeper he is.

3. Alex Rodriguez – He is getting up there in age but can still have possibly 3 more great years. Expect better power numbers out of A-rod this year which will lead to a better fantasy season for him.

4. David Wright – Theres no downside or risk with David. Hes very consistent and productive. Expect great numbers out of this young kid again.

5. Jose Reyes – Reyes is right behind Han Ram. Both are great keepers to have. Remember theres only 3 great Shortstops in the game, if you dont have one of them they might not be worth keeping. Try to get one of these Shortstops.
6. Miguel Cabrera – It took Miggy a little while to adjust to the AL but once he was comfortable, he was outstanding. My pre-season MVP pick!

7. Ryan Bruan – Hes a slugger. The best OF in the game. Keep him and enjoy.

8. Grady Sizemore – He is pretty much a lock for a 30/30 season. You just cant go wrong with Grady.

9. Johan Santana – The Mets bullpen ruined Santana’s record last year. Well guess what, the mets have fixed that problem. Look for Santana to have 20-23 wins this year and a below 2.50 ERA. The best pitcher in the game.

10. Jimmy Rollins – After Rollins there is a huge dropoff in shortstops. You need to get one of the three. Look for J-roll to have a much better season this year. Remember he was injured last year, he should be ready to go this season.

What do you guys think?

Notable keepers i left out:  Lincecum, Teixeira, Lee, Pedroia

Matt Holliday, OF, OAK	$35
Josh Hamilton, OF, TEX I think both are close to top 10? Wouldn't you agree? I like your rankings but I like Sizemore more than most i think.

Yes i agree both of those outfielders are close to making this list but i dont think they should be on it. Im a little worried about Holliday, because he is away from Coors field now. Holliday was a way better hitter at Coors field than at opposing parks.
