The feedback I would like are as followed:

1. Do I keep Cuddyer and try and find a trade partner for Andy LaRoche? I'm a Nats fan but I do not trust this guy.
2. Any worries about Gardner going into next year. I need AVG and SB pretty bad, is there anything I need to worry about with this guy?
3. I picked up Zimmermann and kept him all year injured and was rewarded, I drafted Detwiler, had a good season, I'm just worried I'm putting the victory I got with Zimmermann and putting it on Detwiler. Could I keep someone else other than Detwiler or does he have a good shot of improving over this year?
4. Am I giving up on Rasmus too early?

I would keep Rasmus over Gardner personally. Gardner's inability to come back from those injuries really worry me, a lot more so than Rasmus... I would also be tempted to keep Ramos over Revere. While that might not be great right now, Ruiz is a good 8-9 years older than Ramos and his numbers really declined the last few months of the season. Plus, while you have at least 3 good catchers on your minor league team, I am not sold yet on how well any of them will hit major league pitching. Cuddyer is also at the point of his career where his numbers will start declining. To compare, here are the details and my keepers for my 1 keeper league:

14-team mixed, highly competitive also... start the usual, plus 1 IF, a 4th OF (all OF positions not position specific), a DH, 4 SP, 2 RP. Each teams gets to keep 9 players plus a 4-man Farm Team. I spent years building this team from an old, past their prime, vacated team I bought into what I have now (was in 1st place wire-to-wire this year and finished second overall due to injuries/shutdowns at the end of the season). Here is my roster going into next season:

1B - Freddie Freeman, Atl
1B - Paul Goldschmidt, Ari
3B - Will Middlebrooks, Bos
OF - Matt Kemp, LAD
OF - Giancarlo Stanton, Mia
OF - Mike Trout, LAA
OF - Austin Jackson, Det
SP - Clayton Kershaw, LAD
SP - Stephen Strasburg, Was

Farm Team:
SS/OF - Billy Hamilton, Cin
SS - Javier Baez, ChC
OF - Bubba Starling, KC
SP - Jose Fernandez, Mia

As you can tell, I think I have my keepers set for the next 8 years or so, barring any injuries or major disappointments. The key to becoming successful in a keeper league, to me, is that when you have a choice of a veteran putting up good numbers vs youth putting up decent numbers, always choose to keep the youth if the veteran is 34+. Good luck!
