Baseball Keeper Question

I'm guessing if you have the possibility of keeping studs like Kershaw, Grienke AND Felix, there are some other people in your league sitting pretty with some of the stud hitters. Or in other words, the prime hitters aren't going to be available as they'll be kept as well. So you might consider just doing 2 of those 3 so that you can ensure yourself at least one stud offensive hitter. And just an FYI, I don't know how serious it is but Minor is on the shelf right now with some arm issues. Might want to research him a little more (although it looks like he's a really high keeper so maybe NBD)

So update on my draft. I got Scherzer, Cole and Gio with my first three picks. Not to mention Hamels and Garcia REALLY late so I think my pitching will be sick. I'm gonna try and flip Gio and maybe Lawrie for Matt Carpenter. I hate the cardinals but that guy is massively underrated fantasy wise

I was half asleep this morning when I "drafted" Odo and Brian Wilson due to complications from the commissioner inputting our draft selections from Saturday.

I've never done an auction style draft so it's hard for me to criticize I guess but that seems high for tulo and low for Cano

It's a really deep league... every team has 34 players on the roster and must play 3 MI guys (SS, 2B and MI).

We added an expansion team and I was concerned I wouldn't be able to get another elite bat (top 20) at that price.

That was my last decision, and it was a tough one.

[L.A. Chieffan]

I had Tulo actually and I ended up trading him and Goldschmidt, Gerrit Cole, Nate Jones and Alexander Guerrero for Cano, Segura, Trumbo, Cashner, and Parnell. Massive blockbuster

You traded away the two best players in that deal.

Nah, Goldy will have a better avg. than Trumbo but the power numbers should be about the same. Cano is the best 2b in the game. In my league doubles and triples count so Segura will be very valuable. Tulo is just too unreliable. I was kinda bummed about giving up Cole but Cashner is about to have a huge season. I'm happy with it

Why did you take Zimmer?

It was my next-to-last pick and it was a choice between him and another setup man... he's going to be up this year, which makes him keepable... he's a potential stud, and I really wanted at least one more good, young, cheap SP keeper. Between Syndergaard, Bundy and Zimmer, I feel pretty certain to get that.

Should I drop Ike Davis for Dillon Gee...

I would unless you're stacked on pitching. I think gee will have a very good year actually
