12-team mixed 5x5. We use a preseason FAAB run to pick up our five bench players, using Vickrey. I have two DL players to replace, though I also have two minor leaguers to activate so that's a wash. I have no problem with picking up guys who are injured now who would definitely be keepers next year - keepers go up $5/yr, so I can bid $1 on a couple of them and if I end up with them, I'll run a short bench or give up on them.
Current roster:
C: Astudillo $4, SPerez $1
1B: Gallo $11 (keeper)
2B: Dozier $7
SS: TTurner $16 (keeper)
3B: Donaldson $14
CI: PAlonso $1
MI: Castro $1
OF: Soto $24 (keeper), Pham $11 (keeper), Buxton $16 (people burning off money at the end of the good-player phase), JD Martinez $41, GPolanco $3
UT: Souza $1
SP: Scherzer $41, Verlander $26 (keeper), LCastillo $17, Clevinger $6 (keeper), Eovaldi $6, Maeda $6, Paddack $4, Strahm $1
RP: May $2
relevant minors: Robles, Hampson
So I need a catcher, and maybe a first baseman if they keep Alonso down, and maybe a pitcher if they keep Paddack down. And it'd be nice to have a second possible closer, May isn't exactly a lock.
who should I target out of these:
Robinson Chirinos
Tyler Flowers
Yan Gomes
Carson Kelly
Isiah Kiner-Falefa
Martin Maldonado
Brian McCann
Omar Narvaez
Max Stassi
Yonder Alonso
Jeimer Candelario
Yoenis Cespedes
Franchy Cordero
Delino DeShields
Brett Gardner
Odubel Herrera
Jung-ho Kang
Ryan McMahon
Cedric Mullins
Kevin Pillar
Franmil Reyes
Justin Smoak
Dansby Swanson
Derek Holland
Mark Melancon
AJ Minter
Brandon Morrow
Shohei Ohtani (Pitcher, yes, they're separate)
Michael Pineda
Sergio Romo
Drew Steckenrider
Touki Toussaint
