If you've advanced a few leagues, do you still have a player who, on paper you should have traded a long time ago, but you've kept because they consistently hit around .300? For me, it's
Willie Bloomquist. Two and a half stars, can't hit a home run, but he consistently gets on base more often than any other player I've had with a hit rating of 6.
I'm in the MVP league right now, and one of my opponents who has moved up to Hall of Fame is still playing Nick Swisher. I started with him on my roster, but have long since traded him, and I assume he's still getting played for the same reason I still have Bloomquist: Results. I'm arriving at the end of an era, however: On a number one draft pick, I just scored Troy Tulowitzki (5 stars, 9/9/2). A shortstop like Bloomquist, it's all too obvious who stays and who goes.
How long have you held on to a player who produced results out of proportion to what the game said they should?

Worst player I had that I kept for a long time was Arismendy Alcantara 2/7/9. He only hit .250-.260 but the power speed combo was lethal for a long time on my squad. I was using him over 3.5 and 4* star guys and I think he was only a 2*.
