The core is my three keepers--Goldschmidt, Acuna, Yelich--and players with no-brainer options. Of that group, Mondesi, Heaney and Chapman run out of options in 2020. Those six compete for three spots in 2021.

Adell and Franco both have options through 2022. I am pulling them out of the big group. Frazier, Barnes and Lewis have options through 2023. Again, pulled from the pick four group. I am tempted to add Newman, since I see little chance of letting him go. He would only have options in 2020 and 2021.

At the end of the season I grabbed every likely arm I saw on WW. I am hoping one or more catches fire over the winter.

Comments anyone?
