I agree. Next year will prolly be the last year Schwarber has C eligibility.I think that Correa and Bryant have to be the answers due to position, age and current production.
I love Schwarber but he doesn't belong in that conversation yet. Bryant by a lot.Holy balls1. Flip a coinYahoo! 6x6:

2. Correa and Bryant/Schwarber(flip a coin again?)
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.Yahoo! 6x6:

If playing fantasy baseball isn't being "productive" I'm not sure what is.Keep one:
1) Continue playing fantasy baseball
2) Quit playing fantasy baseball, do something productivew with that time instead.

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.
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.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.
NewZa will have openings I bet. There's some real #### shows in there. @Bogart @strykerI 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 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 would prolly go Dickerson over Dee. Don't see how he keeps up that .383 babip next year.
Wouldn't fault you either way, really. Both good options IMOI won't be surprised to see the BA fall significantly, but you can pretty much bank on 50-60 SB and 80+ runs.

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 yearWhat's your format, and are there any other players that you have kept? At-present do you think you're going to contend?
This breaks the tie for me since Dickerson and Gordon are close. Already have 2 OF, so go with Dee.I won't be surprised to see the BA fall significantly, but you can pretty much bank on 50-60 SB and 80+ runs.

Nobody wants to weigh in?http://s22.postimg.org/gcswxu1c1/image.jpg
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.
Can you keep these guys forever or do you have to let them go or pay a tax after X amount of time?Nobody wants to weigh in?http://s22.postimg.org/gcswxu1c1/image.jpg

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?
It is forever. I came in 2nd/14 last year, so was thinking ARod still had value to me this year?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.
I have A-Rod in a 23 forever keeper league and he's not among my keepers right now. Neither is Verlander.It is forever.

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.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.
Cripes, that team is LOADED. JUp/Davis for a 3B would probably be your best move. Maybe Machado?http://s30.postimg.org/4b9caob3l/image.jpg
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?
Actually, no kidding last night I offered JUP/David/Wade Davis for Machado and then the same offer for Arenado.Cripes, that team is LOADED. JUp/Davis for a 3B would probably be your best move. Maybe Machado?http://s30.postimg.org/4b9caob3l/image.jpg

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

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.
