Help with Keepers (1 Viewer)

[shaunmzs]

Hi All,

I was hoping I could get some guidence on what players I should keep. This is just a total points league where we start 2 players at each position except for 5 outfielders, 5/6 SP, and 1/2 RP. If you don't keep 15 you participate in a supplimental draft until every team has 15 players.

My Team: (bolded are my keeper picks)

Cabrera, Miguel 1B DET

Reynolds, Mark 3B ARI

Bay, Jason LF NYM

Choo, Shin-Soo RF CLE

Werth, Jayson RF PHI

Quentin, Carlos LF CHW

Span, Denard RF MIN

Ramirez, Aramis 3B CHC

Young, Michael 3B TEX

Helton, Todd 1B COL

Ludwick, Ryan RF STL

Theriot, Ryan SS CHC

Ramirez, Alexei SS CHW

Lopez, Felipe 2B STL

Hardy, J.J. SS MIN

Aybar, Erick SS ANA

Montero, Miguel C ARI

Soto, Geovany C CHC

Fuentes, Brian RP ANA

Rivera, Mariano RP NYY

Jimenez, Ubaldo SP COL

Zambrano, Carlos SP CHC

Dempster, Ryan SP CHC

Jackson, Edwin SP ARI

Buchholz, Clay SP BOS

Lowe, Derek SP ATL

Millwood, Kevin SP BAL

Matusz, Brian SP BAL

Latos, Mat SP SD

Duke, Zach SP PIT

It's hard to assess w/out having some idea of who'll likely be available in the supplemental draft. How many teams in the league?

Fuentes is the only guy who jumps out with a higher 12 team ADP than the 13-15 range. But that's for roto leagues, I don't how your scoring system values RPs. Hopefully, your scoring favors bats because your pitching isn't very good.

I think it would be a mistake to throw back Span.

Zambrano may be the 3rd Cubs pitcher I'd want after Dempster and Lilly (and that's with Lilly hurt too).

I agree, I'd try to find a place for Span. Michael Young could be expendable, except for his BA.

Buchholz and Latos are interesting.

I know Fuentes doesn't have much job security but 10 points per save makes him interesting.

For the most part, you have relatively easy choices I think. I could see keeping Fuentes over Zambrano. You also have two good catchers in a two catcher league (meaning catchers will be in high demand), but I don't really see another hitter on your list that I'd keep either catcher ahead of.

We had 8 teams last year with one dropping out this year, so we are down to 7. That managers players are going to be frozen until the regular draft starts of witch I have the second pick, and will get either Ryan Braun or Mark Texeria.

I don't have a very good feel of what other teams will hold onto or not, but a few players that are out there for sure that are interesting are:

Matt Garza

Jered Weaver

Jonathan Broxton

Rickie Weeks

Asdrubal Cabrera SS/2B

Elvis Andrus

Johny Peralta 3B/SS

Another question for you savy vets is in what round would you expect the likes of:

Aroldis Chapman

Jason Heyward

Alcides Escobar

to start going off the board.

 

[scrumptrulescent]

With Braun or Teixeira a lock for you I'd drop M Young and his high BA for sure. I'd hold off keeping Span now since you already have 4 OF keepers and may end up with Braun in the draft.

With 10 pts per save, Broxton stands out in that group. I also like Garza, Asdrubal, and Andrus.

I have no idea what round those guys would go in since each team keeps 15 players.
