Two thrilling walkoff HRs in one night?
You can't beat playoff time.
Unless your favorite team and fantasy both tanked and have moved quickly onto football.
But let's stop for a second and talk about third. As in the hot corner.
Who do you keep and who do you throw back? It's fairly straightforward as we look forward to the 2010 draft.
Definite Keepers (10 team, 6 keeper league)
Miguel Cabrera
Mark Reynolds
Alex Rodriguez
Evan Longoria
Ryan Zimmerman
David Wright
Kevin Youkilis
Definitely Maybe
Chone Figgins
Pablo Sandoval
Only in deeper leagues
Michael Young
Commentary: Chipper Jones, Mike Lowell and Scott Rolen, you are honorably dismissed from the third base keeper discussion. You all served this position well, but age and injury have caught up to you and you're no longer keepable. Keeper is largely based on youth and projection of stats, not what you've done for me lately -- or two years ago. There will likely be little argument with anyone on this list. Each definite keeper finished in the top 40 of Yahoo's ranking this year with the exceptions of ARod and Wright, who both missed time. Wright could be moved to the maybe list, if you honestly believe his power has been zapped, but I don't think that's the case. A return to 25 HR is likely and I wouldn't be surprised if they moved the fences in at Citi. Young, if he was 5 years younger, would be definite material, but he's not, so he's not. Figgins and Sandoval are both tough calls. Consult your roster for final verdict. If you have no other speed, go ahead and retain Figgy's services. Sandoval just turned 23, folks, making him a very tough call and I would definitely keep him in 12-team or greater formats. The hot corner is just not that deep.
