2013 KEEPER HELP (1 Viewer)

[Annyong]

I have to keep 10 players for a semi dynasty league. 4 of them are no brainers (Votto, Matt Holliday, Kershaw, Papelbon), but I need help with the other 6. I've narrowed it down to 13 possible keepers. There is no dollar value on players, and we can keep players for as long as we want.Yadier MolinaPedro AlvarezElvis AndrusMichael BournJosh WillinghamMartin PradoCarlos BeltranJames ShieldsJeff SamardzijaLance LynnKyle LohseDan HarenJohn Axford

How doesn't he keep Alvarez?

 

[rodg12]

Pick one: 5X5(ops)A; B GarnderI DesmondB: B GardnerA LaRocheC: M MonteroI DesmonndA LaRocheD: M MonteroDesmond or LaRocheA EatonEesmondA LaRocheA EatonS MarteG PerkinsThe above scenarios would be added to another 6 that are already being kept

I go A.

I was all over A/B too, but Ichiro being in NY scares me......If Gardner leads off, he's a must keep.....but he'll lose a crap load of AB's hitting down the order(say 9th)

I think there's a solid chance he leads off this year and Jeter hits 2nd. Will be interesting to see what they do.

 

[rodg12]

Having trouble narrowing down my keepers. Any help would be appreciated. 5x5 Roto (R, RBI, HR, SB, OBP, ERA, Whip, K, W, SV)We play C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF(4), 2 UTL, and 7 Pitchers. 25 man total roster.Everyone gets to keep $18 worth of keepers, Values are determined by round they are drafted and values increase $2 per year kept. Kept players are back loaded at the end of the draft.Here is my roster:Adrian Gonzalez 9Justin Upton 9 Carlos Gonzalez 7 Clayton Kershaw 6 Jay Bruce 5 Carlos Santana 5 David Wright 5 Starlin Castro 4 Jason Heyward 4David Ortiz. 4Mark Reynolds 4 Chase Utley 4 Michael Young 4Ian Kennedy 4 James Shields 4 Chris Carpenter 3 Jeremy Hellickson 3Kenley Jansen 3 Joe Nathan 3 J.J.

How doesn't he keep Alvarez?

Because Alvarez sucks. He hit .244 with a .317 obp last year and that was a career year.

Guy hit 30 HR's and drove in 85 Runs in his first full season, playing at a very thin position.Besides, our insider said he's going to hit 40 this year easy

I'm also checking our waiver wire, and I see that Will Middlebrooks is available. Would he be a better fit than Alvarez? Is he keepable with my other players?

 

[harryhood]

Re-tooled after a down season last year and swung some deals to stock up.

5x5(obp) H2H

Kept: MCabrera, Prince, McCutchen, Bumgardner

I have 1.01 this year. I'm thinking Heyward is a lock over Hanley here and will replace Bums as keeper 4 next season . Any thoughts on the contrary?

Halladay over Pence without question. How long can you keep these players for? Myers would be awfully tempting to keep

I think you're keeping the correct 8.

 

[Tiger Fan]

Halladay over Pence without question. How long can you keep these players for? Myers would be awfully tempting to keep

Can keep them forever. Based on league chatter, we're likely going to reduce the # of keepers for next year down to 4-5

I wouldnt keep Halladay. His velocity is down again. He's in soft-tossing lefty territory right now. With perpetual keepers, I'd be tempted by both Myers and Profar.

Redraft...but still. Let's say I'm considering b/w Halladay and Will Myers. Myers ADP is 21st round in redraft. Halladay is 8. In what scenario would I keep Myers over Halladay? If I really wanted Myers, I could be aggressive and draft him a few rounds before his ADP

Probably not, but you're also not going to get him in the "20th", or your 12th. The potential keeper aspect means you draft this guy over all the average arms and bats that get picked in the mid rounds of a redraft. As soon as one comes off the board, I'd set my sights on the other, assuming they are your top 2 high potential young players going back into the draft.

Just as an example, Tristan Cockcroft of ESPN has Myers rated #70, Profar #95 and Halladay #106 overall in keeper leagues. Something to keep in mind.

Like I'm going to trust a chick with her rankings :rolleys:S, thanks. I'm much more of a "win now" type of guy, but it's good to see the other perspective

 

[pantagrapher]

After much reflection, I've decided on a rebuilding year. With other teams fielding keepers like Trout and Harper for the next two years, I'll need a miracle to compete. Better to take my medicine. So here's my six:

Chris Davis

Kyle Seager

Jurickson Profar

Carlos Gomez

Domonic Brown

Jeff Samardjza

Back into the pool: Brandon Morrow (whom I have little confidence in this season anyway), Rafael Betancourt, Mike Minor, Homer Bailey, Adam LaRoche, Adam Dunn. And yeah, I don't like keeping pitchers.

 

[shadyridr]

Jeez dude id keep morrow and minor over seager and brown

 

[Bobcat10]

One of the ways to rebuild is thru trade. Morrow, Minor and even Dunn would help u there. Easier to redraft guys like Seager as they won't be in high demand on draft day. Regardless, you'll be able to draft young players. Keep your best assets now and move them later.

 

[pantagrapher]

I acknowledge I am doing what looks like a stupid thing, although I could see myself switching in Minor for Seager.

 

[The Flying Elvis]

Need some perspective. I am in a 12 team H2H points, 4 player keeper league. My keepers right now are Braun, Trout, Harper and Kershaw. Real young and look to be in good shape. Only worry is that I am keeping 3 OFs for my offense. I'm a big fan of Harper and like to watch him play so I am keeping him on my team with Trout for the foreseeable future. Would anyone suggest trying to move Braun either before the draft or early in the season for a different top offensive player who plays IF, like a Votto or Longoria? Only hesitation is that Braun is unbelievable in H2H. Not a bad problem to have but want some input.

If I were trading anyone it'd be Bryce...unless you can get the Miggy owner to trade him for Braun.

You can't punt the season in a 6 keeper before it starts.

Only 2 players I'd consider moving Braun for and you already have one of them. The other is Miggy, but I think I'd rather have Braun.

I opted to keep Minor over Seager. I won't keep three SPs in this league, and I don't trust Morrow this season. Dunn is such a drain on average he tends to be tough to trade. I tried to deal him last season with no luck. The kind of guys I would get for him halfway through the season would be guys like Brown.This isn't a matter of punting the season. It's one or two keepers. I'll survive.

You've got 11 guys bolded.I keep Moustakas over Uggla and Howard, leave the rest the same. That gives you 10.

Thanks. I just noticed the error. I currently don't have Uggla as a keeper.

I looked at Mouse, but I think I'll have a shot at drafting Prado to play 3B.

You don't like Howard as a bounceback candidate this year? I hear he's been tearing it up so far this spring.

You've already got Prince at 1B. I'd prefer the flexibility to go where I want with the U spot in the draft. Plus, Moose is being valued much higher than Howard in the drafts I've seen so far. I'd rather keep the more valuable guy.

Domt keep a closer. Throw back uggla and romo, keep moose

First time I've heard the strategy of not keeping a closer.6 pitching cats (Wins, Saves, ERA, Hits, Walks, K's)..closers have inherent advantages over starters in 4 cats (Saves, ERA, Hits, Walks)Why wouldn't you keep a closer?

 

[shadyridr]

Closers are a dime a dozen, you can grab value late in a draft. I would never keep a closer except maybe a guy like kimbrell. I would never keep an injury prone guy like romo

Huge turnover in closers each year. Be active on the waiver wire. closers on bad teams gets saves too.

If Im not getting Kimbrel, Papelbon, Motte or Soriano. Id prefer getting the last 2-3 closers off the board and spending those picks/money elsewhere.

While true, I think Kimbrel may be the except to this rule - as was Mariano before him.

Mo is a pitcher, they get injured. Part of the risk of keeping any pitcher.
