I like Tulo and I’m not overly concerned about regression. What I wonder about is if Jordan Zimmermann is enough to balance the deal. Depending on how your league handles/values minor leaguers, I might want more than Zimmermann.

Brian, I have a question. How much do you think Tulo will regress next year, if at all? I have Aramis Ramirez and Jayson Werth for Tulo and Jordan Zimmerman possibly lined up in an extremely deep keeper league (12 keepers, 20 teams) and I am in a bit of a rebuilding mode. Do you think this could work out for me? I have good outfield depth, and I have a 3rd baseman replacement.

What about Tulo on the second list? Tulo’s numbers are almost as good as fellow long-last-name star Evan Longoria. He started off ice cold but he’s been incredible lately. I have Michael Young (who I traded Victor Martinez for), Jeter, and Tulo all on my team. 3 elite SS, not bad.

Anyone care to take a stab at a listing of the top SS for the 2010 draft?

Indeed, Hardy screwed BOTH of my teams, then took things one step further when he starting heating up, which led to me dropping an unproven part-time player named Ben Zobrist, only to see Hardy suck once again about a week later.

I share your misery Mike, as I also Milledge, Soto and Huff (thought I got him at a bargain in the 10th round!).

There’s no way you put Michael Young on the list while missing out Zoby !

If not for A-Gon, my vote would be for Votto. I’d look to move one of them (preferably Gonzalez because of ballpark and name brand) and upgrade another one of your keepers. If you can manage that, Tulo, definitely.

Nice to see Scutaro getting some recognition for his excellent season. People are writing him off too quickly as a fluke, because they forget that plate discipline doesnt magically go away. He turns 34 in the offseason, that leaves 2-3 more years of effectiveness at least, and he would be a good pickup for teams.

I agree on dropping Lee back into the pool… and probably wasn’t as clear as I should have been. Right now, I’m probably looking at Tulo, Hamilton, Votto or Lee as my sixth keeper, so I can only keep one.

Don’t sleep on Peralta 0.326, 10 R, 15 RBI, 3 HR in his last 10. As far as I remember he was dealing with shoulder issues at the beginning of the year (which I can’t say with 100% confidence have been resolved) and had a strong second half for me last year.

Still its hard to be a believer after the year he’s had so far though.
