your offense is pretty ridiculous with those keepers. The only guy at the bottom I might try to find a spot for is Dozier, maybe switch him and Yelich. Otherwise I think you've got it right.



An infield of Rizzo, Cano, Desmond and Miggy, plus Trout in the outfield is god drat ridonkulous.

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

Mesoraco for $6 seems like a bargain. and I'm not sure I'd keep Greinke at $31.

You're right the pitching's a little weak, but I dig the OF. Frazier at first isn't ideal roster construction but between him, Seager and Chris Davis, you should be able to flip one for a 1B upgrade once the season gets going.

Fernandez doesnt even come back til the AllStar break so I'd make some serious trades to bolster that rotation. OFs could carry you far in points league but as said before, if it's roto then you need pitching bad and there's no telling when one of those injury-prone guys goes down.

It's H2H. And yes I know Fernandez doesn't come back til midseason. And yes I know my pitching isn't great, I said so when I posted my roster. The draft did not go at all how I planned. But it's not a money league, which is part of the reason I felt like being risky.

I'd try to trade Springer since his perceived value is probably pretty high to somebody but he's not worth much with the strikeouts and BA. If you can't trade him I'd drop him and keep Betts since he has potential to help in all categories and should be 2b eligible.

I agree about Springer, he Ks a ton and since Ks count in that league he doesn't have much value. I'm not sure I'd keep Betts either though if you are playing for this year, he's battling like 5 other guys for playing time so he may not get many PAs. I'd probably keep Soler or DeGrom/Arrieta.

Matt Holliday is elite at his position and both Samardzija and Sanchez have a shot, but you're right that I'm making do with more second- and third-tier guys. The team I inherited was the one team in the league that was completely terrible but not obviously tanking to game the draft system. Hence asking about auction strategy w/r/t those big budgets so I can try to actually pick up some more high-tier guys.

Holliday isn't elite for an OF, not anymore. He's consistent, but 20-25hr/90rbi is not elite. And his average has been dropping the last few years.

I'm just trying to figure out why he's a douchebag cocksucker!

Because I was making reasonable offers and he just kept rejecting them and not saying anything, not making any counteroffers or giving me any feedback. I finally asked him to give me a counteroffer or some feedback just to see if there was a deal to be made, and he sends me the Harvey for Tulo offer and says "take it or leave it". You don't think asking for a 2nd round/borderline 1st rounder for a guy he got at the end of the 6th (who probably won't reach 200 innings) is a dick move?

I don't think I have the BEST team in my league, but I don't think I'll finish last--- will I? How reliable is that metric you can check during the draft that rates your team in comparison to others? At the end of the draft I think it had me 11 of 12.

Personally I think that in-draft standings thing is bullshit.

Your team should not be in last, no. I'd say middle of the pack team. Your pitching is solid, and your outfield is nice. Your UTILs are pretty weak IMO. Your infield I'm not crazy about, but it should be good enough.

Any particular reason some of you guys draft so early? I've always liked drafting as late as possible to avoid to inevitable injury breakdown in spring training. I know a lot of the writers tend to draft in February or so, but that's out of the necessity of having articles out before the bulk of drafting actually occurred.

I like to do at least one draft early to get some bargains before spring hype leads to inflated ADPs for sleepers.
