You might be able to still use Machado at short in Yahoo. I know five games is one of their thresholds but I don't remember if it's just to add it in season or if it's enough to also carry it over to the next year. ESPN I believe requires 20 games, though.

ZenVulgarity posted:12-team HTH 6x6 R/HR/RBI/SB/OBP/SLG and HR Allowed/K/ERA/WHIP/QS/NSVH I'd say Goldy and Rizzo are probably better keepers than Abreu, so if you don't want to keep three 1B then that's an easy case to not keep him. Sale at 9 is great value, I think Thor at 15 is as well. Marte seems like a no brainer. Hopefully that helps you narrow it down a bit.

My main keeper league renewed yesterday so I can finally take a closer look at the roster and not use the "past years" setup yahoo has for leagues that haven't yet. We keep ten players, 12 teams, 6x6 with OPS and QS added. Keepers are your first ten picks, keep forever. These players on my roster were in the top 100 last year. Mike Trout (OF) Miguel Cabrera (1B) Anthony Rizzo (1B) Robinson Cano (2B) Matt Kemp (OF) Brian Dozier (2B) Alex Rodriguez (Util) - lol, didn't realize he had so few games in the field Miguel Sano (3B)* Byron Buxton (OF)* *technically not top 100 but I need to keep them, I think Zack Grienke (SP) Masahiro Tanaka (SP) Craig Kimbrel (RP) Wade Davis (RP) Jeurys Familia (RP) Mark Melancon (RP) I've always kept one RP (Kimbrel) but I'm thinking that I can't afford to do that anymore. Not keeping one would allow me to drop the RPs and A-Rod (as much as I want to keep him we only have two util spots so I'd have to drop Dozier or Cano to do so) and keep everyone else. OTOH I really like being able to keep an awesome closer so I only have to draft one or two

Moneyball posted:Got bored and tried to figure out a H2H version of an all-suck league. Or maybe I'll make it roto. I joined because I'm interested, but you're putting way too much emphasis on pitchers, and you're also not truly punishing people for having good players (Kris Bryant is a very good player in this league, for example, because he strikes out a lot and has a fair amount of errors and GIDPs, which are three of the four hitting stats). Generally the best way to do it is to find a good mix of positive and negative categories and make it a points league, with the stereotypical good things giving negative points, and vice versa.

Schweinhund posted:I like having a draft early because by the time April rolls around all the good sleepers have been hyped to death and they end up not being sleepers anymore. And then you just pick up all the solid players that fall to you while everyone else is picking their "sleepers" at cost, essentially.

I've just never seen anything to indicate Samardzija is anything other than a mediocre pitcher that had one good year where his BABIP was lower than normal. He's 31 now so I don't think he's going to break through like people keep expecting him to.

How much does their cost go up each year? What does your keeper roster look like before/after the trade? How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop? How much is your budget? Is it a points league? Head to Head or Roto?

Abel Wingnut posted:13 teams. keep 6. 6x6 roto, obp instead of avg, slg and qs added. 225 budget. Short term you're better off not doing it, since you should be getting much more than $10 from all those players. I don't know who you'd plan on filling the two freed up spots with but Cueto and Stroman are decent options (or just keeping the extra cash for your budget). In a vacuum I generally favor offense over pitching, though. Long term I'd rather have Correa over Pollock, but I don't know how much the difference is (I don't do much in auction). Also, if you can get pitchers like Scherzer for $21 (yes I realize he had a down year in 2014 but that still seems low) then I'm not sure you'd keep Carrasco at $25 next year, so that's also worth considering. Schwarber's value going forward probably entirely depends on if he sticks at catcher.

Doghouse posted:Given that one of the stats that is counted is saves, should I disregard better relief pitchers who won't be closing, in favor of worse closers? Is that how that works? Seems dumb that saves is a thing. There are four basic strategies regarding saves, and you'll have to tweak your approach depending on your other league settings 1: Draft closers as normal, trying to get enough saves to feel good about your team. 2: Only draft a couple closers and end up in the lower half of saves, but get really good ones so the rest of your ratios won't get hurt. 3: Draft no closers and just pick up the guys who get the job early-mid season because of performance/injury issues with the guys that start the season with the job. 4: Draft no closers and punt the category, draft really good setup guys instead to slot in your RP spots to help you with ratios/Ks. I tend to combine 2 and 3, personally. I don't like the idea of punting a category unless a league is set up that I can take big advantage of it, and I don't feel like punting saves in a standard setup is one of those situations.

Monday_ posted:Looking for someone to take over a team in my keeper league. 10 teams, 6x6 H2H, categories are R, HR, RBI, SB, AVG, OPS, W, K, SV, Holds, ERA, WHIP. Keeper rules are keep up to 5 players, no 1st, 2nd or 3rd rounders, 2 rounds of inflation per year, and you can only keep a guy twice. Speaking of that league, I can't decide between Brian Dozier (16) or Corey Seager (25) for my fifth keeper Already Keeping Pollock, Machado, Sano, and Schwarber. Yes I would double up on SS if I keep Seager but we also have a MI slot. Also this would be the last time I can keep Dozier, but Seager I could still keep next year.

SouthShoreSamurai posted:Your Dozier fetish is showing again... It's sort of a devil you know vs devil you don't situation. Dozier will give me 20 dingers, 90 runs, 15 steals, hit around .250, ops around .775. Seager has the potential to do that but he could also fall into a sophmore slump and not even come close.  At the moment I have it set as Seager anyway, but I wanted more opinions. Also it's not a Dozier fetish when I'm right about how good he is

I went into my first draft woefully underprepared and am super glad that my keepers own, please tell me how terrible my actual picks were! H2H 6x6 (OPS and QS added), 12 teams, each team keeps ten players between seasons at no cost (they are every team's first ten picks, and yes you have to keep ten), no start limit but 7 weekly transaction limit. Keepers are italicized. C: JT Realmuto 1B: Miggy Cabs 2B: Dozier SS: Kang 3B: Sano OF: Trout OF: Kemp OF: Buxton UT: Cano UT: Rizzo BN: Escobar (will be SS while Kang recovers), Hyun-Soo Kim SP: Grienke SP: Tanaka RP: Davis RP: Perkins P: Zeigler P: T. Walker P: Odorizzi BN: E. Santana, Heany, I. Kennedy, T. Duffey (just in case he makes the rotation)

I just want to say (because there is no team name thread) that I am very glad Zootopia is so good because it allowed me to continue my theme of Disney inspired team names (even though I kinda liked All-Stardew Valley).

Nothing, I just don't know when you'd play him. I generally prefer to use my bench for either injury replacements or high upside guys and Duda isn't really either of those things, imo.

JosefStalinator posted:My main concern is whether Sano is a bit more risky than Syndergaard. He struck out A LOT last year, is the consensus that he'll continue to be worth it despite that? People love bringing up Sano's K-Rate while blissfully ignoring that his BB-Rate was 15.8%. He strikes out a lot but he doesn't expand his strike zone and swing at bad pitches.

JosefStalinator posted:Good to know. I may be swayed away to Sano over Syndergaard then. K's are technically a negative category in the league (dumb I know) but I usually just use it as my dump category and go heavy on HR's and OPS anyway. Like you said, he'll keep a decent walk rate and average to not screw me on those stats. Here's a fangraphs article on his plate discipline. If he can stay on this path he's in some amazing company, but he's also only been in the league for half a year and who knows what scouting reports are going to bring.

Moneyball posted:Not much of a difference, but Correa side is getting the better deal. Though they lose their starting 3B That lack of a 3B really makes me wonder if it's actually a good deal for that side. Depending on who they'd be starting there after the trade I might say it's not worth it. In a vacuum judging on talent alone and with scoring settings that aren't dumb though yeah the side getting Correa is getting the better deal, but it's not by a gigantic amount or anything.

What's your total budget? My initial thought is EE, Kluber, and Martinez and if you really want Stanton you can probably get him for around what you'd be keeping him at (and even if you have to pay a little more you're still saving a lot of money because of the savings on the other three) e: Michael Corleone posted:260, just came back to edit that in.
