Evaluating the Fantasy Baseball Keepers, Round 2

Nine weeks into the 2012 Fantasy Baseball Season and it's time to take another look at the Lushbucket Baseball League's Keepers. A reminder for those of you not in the league, we get three keeper players per year. The round that you originally draft the player is the round you get him if you "keep" him. If you didn't draft him the previous season, but want to keep him, then he slots into your first available draft pick. The round the players went in this year's draft is listed in parentheses.

  1. Lincecum and Pujols have to be the two biggest disappointments as keepers so far this year. There are a bunch of players that could have been taken in deeper rounds that have had better production so far.
