Standard 5x5, 12 tm NL Only. A= 1st yr, B= 2nd yr, C= extendable $5/yr, or keep final year
I dumped last year and I'm only so-so on my keeper collection.
Conforto - $15('20)
Schwarber - $15('20)
Margot - $5B
F. Mejia - $7B
K. Marte - $8C
J. Hader - $13B
D. Steckenrider - $1C
T. Touissant - $5B
N. Pivetta - $3B
B. Woodruff - $5B
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
L. Gohara - $3C (too much uncertainty to extend him now, even to $8 for 2 years, right? Worth a shot? He holds almost no value if I make him a $3X, so I'm kinda stuck extending or dropping. Leaning towards dropping.)
A. Eaton - $22C (decent price, but nothing incredible as a $22X.)
A. Slater - $3B (Has a chance to lock down FT AB's, has some SB's in the profile.)
FARM
Here's my biggest problem. We only get 6 Farm slots, which has a couple of side-affects. With 6 slots, you can't afford to draft 17 year olds that will take 4-6 years to develop. You need to prioritize ETA + ceiling, that's it. So here's my farm, 5 close to ready, 1 upside guy:
T. Trammell - OF - CIN
A. Verdugo - OF - LAD
G. Hampson - 2B - COL
I. Diaz - 2B - MIA
A. Knizner - C - STL
S. Alcantara - SP - MIA
I have the 13th farm pick, so I think I'll drop Alcantara to make a pick... or I could keep Alcantara on the major league portion in place of Woodruff or Touissant. Alcantara would have 2 extra years until extension time, but Touissant and Woodruff both seem more MLB-ready right now. I might even drop Alcantara and push Verdugo or Hampson to the ML keepers, (again in place of Touki or Woodruff), just to get an extra farm pick. I feel like all except Trammell have lower ceilings, so it's kind of a bummer... but I also love the advantage of having multiple plug-ins for $1 guys to take a stars/scrubs draft approach.
Finally, a trade I'm pondering.
I give Conforto $15('20) in exchange for G. Marquez $5C + R. Quinn $5A.
I would probably extend Marquez to $10('20), but will Quinn get enough playing time? I like having 2 years of Quinn until extension, but I worry if he makes it as a starter or not. Super clogged OF in Philly, and they're in win-now mode, so might bench Quinn for a heavier bat.
What would you do?
