JackssWastedLife posted:Dude is super duper old, which makes any injury scary. Throw in the fact that he has had serious knee injuries in the past, and red flags are shooting up all over the place. That being said, if you have him as a "super cheap" keeper, then I think go for it. You saw his ceiling last year, and as a low cost keeper the risk is low as well. It's an auction league, and he would cost $11 to keep with a budget of $270 for 25 guys. I don't have a lot of keepers to fuss over, I had a bad strategy last season and am starting over. We can keep as many as we want, but they get a sliding scale raise. I was planning on keeping 3 with each of them getting a $3 raise - DeGrom for $6, Gattis for $10 and V-Mart for $11. I could keep Zunino for $9, Daniel Murphy for $9 or John Jay for $6 but I dunno.

JackssWastedLife posted:Alrighty, I asked this at the end of last season, but I'm still hemming and hawing over my final keeper choice... and some of them have changed, so I'd like to get everyone's input. Kershaw is a top 5 player, you need to keep him at $34. You want as many elite players as possible, and there are only so many to go around. Arenado is good but he's not elite. If you do want to keep him, I'd keep him over Kluber. Kluber just had 1 good year, chances are he will come down to earth a fair amount, and you can always find good pitching. And Fernandez is listed as a $6 pitcher on ESPN. You might be able to get him at a decent price without keeping him.

I think with inflation caused by cheap keepers that Kershaw will sell for a price WAY over $34, so I can't shake the draw of having him on my team. And I know someone said that Kershaw + Kluber might be too much pitching, but since it is an auction I could adjust my strategy accordingly and wait forever on pitching for deals. KLUBOT IS AN EMOTIONLESS PITCHING MACHINE

if bats stays healthy he'll be top 5 in ops, way up there in rbi, and probably one of the higher 3-spot guys in r given the lineup around him. what's your budget?

Woop, its (almost) time! Trying to figure out my 5th and final keeper. I'm set with Stanton (2nd round), Scherzer (5th), Rizzo (6th) and Rendon (20th)(gently caress yes). Choosing between Robinson Cano (1st) and Sonny Gray (10th). What do you guys think? H2H, 6x6 (OPS + K/BB).

Set of SP keeper questions: 5x5 H2H, 12 teams, Keepers go by A/B contract, so you only "keep" a guy for a year. I stashed Harvey last season and will have him the 17th. I traded for Tanaka and can keep him in the 6th. Is that too early for him, as it would give me two questionable top SPs? Pineda in the 13th (Y/N)? Late round keeper (+20 rds): Kazmir over Paxton right? ^^Congrats on Rendon, I'm happy to have him in the 11th.

I don't think Cano is a 1st rounder but if the top 20 hitters are all kept then you should keep him in the 1st. I get you. Hard to say yet because keepers haven't been declared, but most of the legit first rounders will likely be kept. The only other options might be people like Jose Bautista or Justin Upton, but I'm guessing even they will be kept. Leaning toward Cano. Bud posted:Set of SP keeper questions: Harvey in the 17th is such a negligible gamble that it shouldn't really preclude you from taking Tanaka as well. Having said that, Tanaka is a major question mark, and I'd be hesitant to use my 6th round pick on him. Pineda in the 13th sounds good. I would probably go with the upside of Paxton. Kazmir tailed off quite a bit in the second half last year. Neither of them are bad late-round keepers at all, though. and thanks!

Hey if any of you nerds have a writing background and would be interested in doing fantasy blurbs/news updates about players on your favorite teams for FantasyPros, shoot me a PM. No pay but you get the draft kit and my playbook for free for something you're doing already. It's like 15 minutes a day to put up your quick thoughts on a handful of players.

Not really, maybe once or twice a week if that's all you want to do (maybe every series) unless there's big news or a crazy performance. Pitchers would probably be daily though. Every game would be so much noise as to be basically meaningless. You can only report someone going 1/3 with a single so many times.

Yet another post asking for keeper help! Standard 5x5 roto. I think the cap is something like $220 and we get to keep 6 guys. I think I've decided to definitely keep these five: $17 Bryce Harper, Wsh OF $21 Edwin Encarnacion, Tor 1B, DH $26 Clayton Kershaw, LAD SP $31 Yu Darvish, Tex SP $31 Zack Greinke, LAD SP And then have to decide which one of these ones becomes #6: $5 Aaron Sanchez, Tor SP $5 Joc Pederson, LAD OF $5 Jon Singleton, Hou 1B $5 Justin Turner, LAD 3B $5 Jarrod Dyson, KC OF $5 Joe Panik, SF 2B $5 T.J. House, Cle SP $6 Devin Mesoraco, Cin C $11 Jonathan Papelbon, Phi RP $19 Addison Reed, Ari RP $21 Alex Gordon, KC OF DTD $21 Julio Teheran, Atl SP $25 Ryan Zimmerman, Wsh 3B, OF $31 Jose Reyes, Tor SS $31 Dustin Pedroia, Bos 2B DTD $36 Jacoby Ellsbury, NYY OF DTD $56 Miguel Cabrera, Det 1B, DH DTD Any help?

I'd like to try to use some platoons this season since ottoneu gives me a deep bench. If I were to pick up Rickie Weeks, for example, for $1 how difficult is it to mine value out of platoon guys in most fantasy leagues? Like I said, ottoneu has a deep bench (40 player roster) so it's not like I'm bumping a solid utility player for him.

I'm playing Ottoneu for the first time this year and giving serious consideration to trying to platoon Anthony Gose and Rajai Davis in one of my OF slots. Seems like it would work pretty well but I don't have real experience doing it.

The only thing that scares me about platoons is that there is more decision making involved than I like. You have 4 possibilities that can happen to player A and player B in your platoon(say player A hits lefties and B righties). 1. A vs. lefty, B vs. lefty >>>> start player A 2. A vs. righty, B vs. righty >>>> start player B 3. A vs. lefty, B vs. righty >>>>> ??? 4. A vs. righty, B vs. lefty >>>>> ??? play bench player? Inevitably what would happen to me is that in situations 3 and 4 I would make the wrong decision a few games in a row, miss out on some key HRs or RBIs or something, and lose all confidence in the platoon. With that big of a roster though I think you'd be silly not to try platooning, it's not like you are going to get 40 awesome players on your team. You might be able to get top talent at 1 OF spot and platoon the other OF spots or something.

I guess it makes sense to platoon guys on the same team, if possible, like Ackley and Weeks (just making this up) but I'd have to make sure I got the other half of the platoon.

When people talk about platoons in fantasy it's usually owning a lefty who is an everyday player, like Howard or Dunn, and only playing them against righties. Owning bench players usually isn't worth it because their starts tend to rarely line up with how you'd want them to.

i highly recommend combining platoons and giving zero fucks about who's on your bench outside of a promising prospect or two, especially if your league permits infinite transactions. it allows you to treat the entire pool of free agents as your bench.

Looking for some keeper help. I'm in a 12 team H2H points league where we can keep between 5 and 9 players for the same price they were drafted for last year, or $10 if they were picked up as a FA. Here are my potential keepers: Adrian Gonzalez ($30) George Springer ($13) Gregory Polanco ($10) Jon Singleton ($10) Kolten Wong ($10) Cole Hamels ($16) Joe Kelly ($3) Marcus Stroman ($10) Anibal Sanchez ($16) Wei-Yin Chen ($1) Noah Syndergaard ($1) Taijuan Walker ($4) As much as I want to keep most of those $10 players I just can't justify spending that much for all of them. We get a $260 budget for the draft and I'll have $12 added to that from trades I made last year. As of right now I planning on keeping: Gonzalez Springer Polanco Hamels Sanchez Syndergaard Walker with Wong, Kelly, Stroman, and Singleton as maybes but probably not. This would leave me with $182 to spend on the draft, which isn't as much as I'd like to have. My other option is making a trade or two before the draft, turning some more expensive players into cheaper ones. People are showing interest in Cole Hamels so I shouldn't have a problem trading him for a couple three cheap keepers. Best offer I've gotten so far is Hamels ($16) for Wily Peralta ($1), James Paxton ($1), and Jorge Soler ($10). I'm pretty sure I'd rather keep Hamels but I'm hoping I can get him to give up one of Kris Bryant ($10), Keven Gausman ($1), or Henderson Alvarez ($2) instead of Soler Am I on the right line of thinking here or should I be looking to do something different?
