Looks like it's about time to start thinking about who we're going to keep this season.
I can keep 6. Any player drafted fourth round or later is keeper eligible. Players can be kept a maximum of 4 times (freshman, sophomore, etc.)
League is a standard 5x5 roto. Here are the guys on my list:
Dee Gordon (freshman)
Starling Marte (sophomore)
Corey Dickerson (F)
J. D. Martinez (F)
Matt Carpenter (S)
Masahiro Tanaka (F)
Corey Kluber (F)
Jose Fernandez (S)
Jake Arrieta (F)
Carlos Carrasco (F)
Kenley Jansen (J)
K-Rod (F)
Right now I'm leaning toward:
Corey Dickerson—Not much to think about here.
Starling Marte—Pretty much lived up to expectations in 2014. But again, missed a fair amount of games due to injuries. I think if he can get 600+ ABs, he'll put up gaudy numbers. If you're going to stick your entire upper torso out over the plate, wear some body armor, dude.
Corey Kluber—I don't expect a repeat of 2014, but he'll be very good.
Kenley Jansen—If you have one, you pretty much have to keep a reliable, frontline closer in my league, so he's coming back. I've tried to push for SV/H category for years now, because we're all sick of burning keeper spots on closers who end up hurt one month into the season, but it still hasn't happened.
J. D. Martinez—It's him or Gordon. I really don't want to keep both (though I might). I like him if he's still 2B/SS eligible, but I think Gordon is in for a big drop-off. Of course, Martinez could be too. But I'd much rather gamble on power than speed with so few boppers out there in the draft.
So one more spot, and it's between Arrietta, Carrasco & Tanaka. Tanaka's injury from last year worries me enough to drop him off my list. Arrieta and Carrasco both put up great numbers in limited innings last season, and I expect both will continue pitching great this season. As a Cubs fan, I want to keep Arrieta. And he's my front0-runner for the final spot, so I probably will. But I also love Carrasco. Hate to put him back out there for the vultures to pick at, but you can't keep 'em all.
