Yahoo! 6x6:

Goldy or Harper (can only keep one)

Keep two of ...

Bryant

Correa

Scherzer

Harvey

Schwarber

(also have CarGo, Tulo and Betts)

Can you trade anyone?

Would probably keep Harper because he is younger and I don't think that you can count on the Goldschmidt SBs for that long.

Nope, can't trade players during the offseason. Can only trade players for picks once the keeper deadline has passed before the draft.

 
McCullers or Grichuk for 2016 and 2017?

Already keeping 3 of 4 OF spots with Harper, Trout, and JD Mart.

I know nothing about McCullers.

1. Goldy. His ceiling might he a. little lower, but with Harper's injury history, Goldy's floor is higher. He has been the more consistent player.

2. Bryant and Correa.

 
Keep one:

1) Continue playing fantasy baseball

2) Quit playing fantasy baseball, do something productivew with that time instead.
If playing fantasy baseball isn't being "productive" I'm not sure what is.
Reading a book? :shrug:

I am feeling a bit of ennui re: my long-running b&m league. They are my GB's, but level of competition is way down, and just even talking about trading is like pulling teeth.

Your black ### can read a book anytime.

DON'T YOU GIVE UP ON ME!!!!!

 
I love baseball. I'm really down to just this league, fantasy-wise. But if I could get in a competitive auction league with people I didn't know at all, that would be ideal.

I got in one of those last year through Lambskin. It was great, I recommend finding one and bringing some joy back to the season. Might be an opening this year, but it is a little pricey - 450 I think.

NewZa will have openings I bet. There's some real #### shows in there. @Bogart @stryker

 
My keepers are pretty easy this year (barring some Spring Training injury or something):

Dee Gordon

Carlos Correa

Starling Marte

JD Martinez

Jake Arrieta

Corey Kluber

Sadly not making the cut: Corey Dickerson, Kendrys Morales, David Peralta (guy basically saved my OF after Dickerson went down), Roberto Osuna (not that I ever keep closers anyway).

I would prolly go Dickerson over Dee. Don't see how he keeps up that .383 babip next year.
I won't be surprised to see the BA fall significantly, but you can pretty much bank on 50-60 SB and 80+ runs. I do hate dropping Dickerson though, but I feel like Marte and JD give me a good foundation at OF.

 
I have five years to give to players

Brantley was kept last year and has a year left (can drop him and gain the year back)

So my options are

AJ Pollock

Brantley (1 year)

Franciso Lindor

Corey Seager

Marcus Stroman

Yu Darvish

I can try trading a few for draft picks. But, if you had five years to spread out in any order for those guys, what would you do. (4 years if you hold Brantley)

 
What's your format, and are there any other players that you have kept? At-present do you think you're going to contend?
H2H points. It is a modified keeper league. Only players drafted in round 10-21 can be kept. And all Free Agents are eligible to be kept for a 21st round pick. I won it all last year

I have the 4th pick of the draft. As of now, Im thinking of ditching Brantley (or trying to trade him) and giving Pollock (10th round) and Seager (21st round) two years each. Try to trade Lindor and maybe give my last year to Darvish. I drafted him in RD 21 last year. But Im not sure if Seager or Lindor is the better keep. Also could probably trade Seager easier than Lindor.

Maybe keep Brantley and Pollock and have 2/3 of my OF done.

This breaks the tie for me since Dickerson and Gordon are close. Already have 2 OF, so go with Dee.

14 team 5x5 (OBP instead of BA and Saves+Holds instead of Saves)

Keep 20 / no penalty

-------

You can see the "k" beside my initial keepers. The one I'm kinda having a hard time throwing back is Yasmany Tomas over someone like Delino Deshields. Any thoughts are welcome.
Nobody wants to weigh in?

I think I've decided to throw back both Tomas and Hector Olivera in favor of Deshields and Verlander. The other 18 are pretty set.

Thoughts?

Can you keep these guys forever or do you have to let them go or pay a tax after X amount of time?

 
If you can roll these guys over forever I'd keep Tomas, DeShields, and Olivera and drop A-Rod and Verlander.

People are so down on JV you can probably get him back in the supplemental, and A-Rod is a guy that might be able to help you this year but then he's done. Of those three though I'd keep Olivera for sure, and I'd probably keep all those guys over Vogt too if you can keep forever.

It is forever. I came in 2nd/14 last year, so was thinking ARod still had value to me this year?

I have A-Rod in a 23 forever keeper league and he's not among my keepers right now. Neither is Verlander.

Olivera is a IFer with immediate impact, Tomas should develop more power, and DeShields is fast. You know what A-Rod is, and he is just as likely to be dead by June as he is to deliver another top 100 season. When in doubt, go youth/upside IMO.

 
The other thing to keep in mind with ARod is that he'll only qualify at DH unless your league does a 1 game min rule. Only played 4 games at 3B and 2 at 1B.

I'm still waiting for position eligibility to update. Not positive, but pretty sure you're right about ARod and Deshields probably loses his 2b eligibility for me.

 
ESPN standard is 20 games at a position to be eligible. Deshields only played 1 game at 2B last year. So, likely losing that eligibility as well.

Might as well throw my other keeper league up here. 12 team / 12 man keeper forever. Won the title two years ago, lost in the semi-finals this past year. I think the keepers are pretty easily set, but I do think I'm going to try and trade JUpton and a Chris Davis for an upgrade. Davis loses his 3b eligibility, so at that point I'll always have someone on the bench. I'd rather get an upgrade at a position I can use.

Thoughts?

Cripes, that team is LOADED. JUp/Davis for a 3B would probably be your best move. Maybe Machado?

Actually, no kidding last night I offered JUP/David/Wade Davis for Machado and then the same offer for Arenado.

The Machado guy already countered asking way too much, so that's out. I actually knew he would that - he's about the only guy I've never traded with. He's also the guy that waived Springer after his first two weeks up and has been trying to rip me off to get him back ever since.

Arenado would be another good get. Kris Bryant would too, not sure what his owner's team looks like. I mean, if need be you could build a package around Seager since you have Correa too. One of those two would have to slot in at your U with your current set-up and that means benching one of your 4 stud OFs.
