Am I insane??? (1 Viewer)

[TheBottomLine]

So I'm in a 10-team keeper league. I won the title last year and am absolutely torn on who to keep this year. Can keep 3 hitters, 3 pitchers, and 3 that can be hitter or pitcher.

My dilemma? 5 of my 6 keeper hitters are outfielders. I'm really caught up on that and am considering making a potentially boneheaded move just to give myself more roster flexibility.

My stone cold locks at hitter: Soto, Julio Rod, and Chourio.

Now here's the dilemma, can only keep 3 of these 4: Yordan Alvarez, Lindor, Jackson Merrill, and Junior Caminero.

The obvious move is to throw Caminero back, and I'm sure that will be the common opinion. But I always go with my gut and my gut on the kid is that he's going to bat .270 with 30 bombs as soon as this year, with plenty of counting stats batting in the meat of that lineup. And he's all of 21 years old. Yordan is arguably my most reliable hitter and is a stone cold lock to have an OPS at or above 950 (my league uses R, HR, RBI, SB, AVG, and OPS), but I'm honestly considering throwing him back due to my overload at OF and him being the oldest. Call me crazy and insane. I know I am. If you're me, are you just biting the bullet and keeping 5 OF?

It's easy to think, "just trade an OF or two," but my league is honestly a pain to trade with and I'd be taking a loss likely if I were to trade one of them, so I likely will not mess with that.

What are the odds that you'll be able to re-draft the player you throw back? In other words, would Caminero likely be available for you to pick with your first rounder? I have to imagine that someone scoops Yordan before it's your turn to pick.

The love of Caminero is being driven by the fantasy industry and seems like ridiculous hype to me.

These are not the kinds of decisions that make or break you anyway.

You can't throw back Yordan. Besides all the other reasons, you won the league last year and are stacked for this year. Why throw back a short term stud from a team like that?

Caminero could be anything. He could even be Yordan Alvarez.

Neither guy would make it to me. Whoever I throw back, I lose.

I may just throw Lindor back and be done with it. My gut on Caminero is STUD

Caminero and Alvarez are absolute studs you need to keep.

Source: I have both in Serious Business league.

You have a solid team. Which pitchers are you keeping?

 

[TheBottomLine]

I'm light at pitcher. Only keeping 3 - Wheeler, Schwellenbach, and Eury (hoping he's back by July, but I love the obvious upside)

 

[TheBottomLine]

I'm pretty set on keeping Caminero, so it's between Lindor and Yordan for my last spot. Keeping 4 outfielders, I am torn because I'd rather keep Yordan but that gives me 5. Tough decision.

 

[TheBottomLine]

OF - Juan Soto
OF - Julio Rodriguez
OF - Jackson Chourio
OF - Jackson Merrill
3B - Junior Caminero
Dilemma - SS Francisco Lindor OR OF Yordan Alvarez
