With less than a week left before the regular season starts, it seems only fitting that I conclude my look at potential keepers for 2011 this week. We will leave off here in the Al East, a division that not only seems to have all the money in baseball, but some intriguing hidden talent as well.

With the World Series now over and the Hot Stove getting ready to heat up, many keeper league offseasons are now in full swing. If your league is like mine, you have already seen a few trades go through as your fellow owners try to get a jump on next year’s championship.
But before you go out and spend like your a long-lost Steinbrenner, make sure you aren’t suckered into overpaying for the guy who ends up filling the last spot on your bench.

If your season was anything like mine, chances are you spent most of the last couple of months scouring the waiver wire looking for potential keepers to hoard at little or no cost. And now that 2009 is officially in the books, it is time to start making some tough decisions.
Since every keeper league plays with different rules in terms of contracts, length a player can be kept, number of players to be kept, etc. I am going to avoid being specific on anything of that nature. However, like I have said before, you should know a good value when you see it but as an example a $75 David Wright probably isn’t worth keeping but a $3 Ben Zobrist is probably worth taking a chance on. But again, it all depends on what else is going on in your league.
