So it's a 5 player keeper league I'm in. meaning I can only pick 5 players to keep for next year. I kept Strasburg last year and I'm wondering if I should keep holding onto him if the Nats are gonna keep shutting him down. What's everyone think. Side note: what 5 players would you keep off my team if it was yours.

Here's my team. It's yahoo roto league with 12 managers. Where we can keep 5 of the players off our team.

You must keep him for now, however I'd try to trade him in the off-season. If there is another injury to his elbow, or shoulder as often happens after TJ surgery, I'd then bail on him.

Yeah I'm thinking that's probably the keepers I'm gonna go with, I kept Haren, Tex, Cano, Stras, and Rollins last year for the record.

Thinking Cano, Stras, Chapman, Cain. Not so sure about keeping Mauer but it's good to have a strong Catcher. Not sure about Alvarez. He hasn't been anything great so far. Decent but not great and who knows about the Pirates.
