Cut down time coming

[FBP]

Please select two of the following keeper options in NL 5x5 15 offense, 10 pitchers, 280 cap


Minter $1B
O’Neill $5B
Steckenrider $4B
Franchy Cordero $4B
Brinson $5B
Touki $3B
O. Herrera OF $11 Final year

[Judge Jude]

Minter plus O'Neill (if you are weak in HR) or Brinson (if short in SB)
WAIT - Steckenrider and Minter.

[Pauly]

Touki for sure.
Im torn between franchy, brinson and herrera. Question is how much risk you want to take. If you want a higher floor take herrera. If it were me, Id take a shot on upside- probably Franchy. Seems like he should get ample AB as the only lefty in that outfield. Cant fault buying into Brinson’s hot spring too.

[The Dane]

I'd rank them like this:

Minter $1B
~
Steckenrider $4B
O’Neill $5B
~
Franchy Cordero $4B
Touki $3B
~
Brinson $5B
O. Herrera OF $11 Final year

If I thought I REALLY needed SBs over power, I might swap Cordero and O'Neill, but you HAVE to keep the closers first. I think you can safely ink in 20 saves for those two guys (and I suspect they'll net closer to 40) and for $5, that should be impossible to pass up.

There's probably an argument to be made for any of these guys depending on your team needs.

If it was my team with my current keepers I would take Minter and Steckenreider.


Just take what fits your team needs best, don't think there is a right or wrong answer on this one.

I have Vizcaino. Does that change your view?

[Judge Jude]

Minter was the lock anyway. if you have Vizcaino, he's even lockier.

Agreed.

[cavebird]

Minter and Steckenrider or Brinson. Only Brinson if you believe his spring change, and I am skeptical. Hell, I am fading O'Neil because he has been described as Pedro Cerrano, and well, in the majors there are too many pitchers who can throw off-speed stuff for strikes.

[FBP]

The consensus seems to tilt toward Minter and Steckenrider. Doesn’t anyone have concern over Minter’s injury (problably OK) and Steckenrider’s poor ST performance with Romo looming?
I also have Freddy Peralta $1

I really don't have any interest in Steckenrider. Romo is looming and Conley is a better pitcher than either of them.

I'd keep Minter and ... I dunno, someone else. Probably that $1 Peralta, in all honesty. I like O'Neill but now Ozuna is healthy. I like Franchy but SD is too unpredictable.I think I like Touki more than Franchy or O'Neill.

[FBP]

Question may be moot to some degree. It appears that the Mets are keeping my minor leaguer Alonso on the 25 man roster. If that is the case I guess I go with Minter who is going to pitch BP soon and Alonso as my last two keepers. Thanks to all for your opinions. They were helpful. Just wish we had a bigger keeper list.

[harmon]

I have a more expensive Minter at $10 with decision time tomorrow. Braves now rumored to be the only competitor with the Brewers for Kimbrel. If that is not settled tonight then Minter is out for me, but at your $1 he still looks good.
