Best keeper options?

[Erik]

This is an odd league in which there are 10 owners drafting from 16 MLB teams plus certain players not on those teams. It's basically the equivalent of a 17-team mixed league. We do not have contracts; to keep someone, you pay them 150% of the previous year's salary or $4, whichever is more expensive. We are 5x5 with OBP instead of AVG and SB minus CS instead of SB. We have a 21-man active roster and a 9-man bench; on the bench, there is no distinction between major and minor leaguers.

We keep 7. I am definitely keeping Bellinger $8 and Rendon $24. Below are the possibilities for the other 5. Who from this list do you like?

C Garver $4
1B/3B Y. Gurriel $4
2B/SS L. Urias $4
SS C. Seager $18
OF Aquino $4
OF K. Calhoun $4
OF Haniger $11
OF Pham $8
OF Robles $8
OF Te. Hernandez $4
P Desclafani $4
P T. Rogers $4
P Stripling $5
P J. Urias $4

Which teams are eliminated? That might change my vote on Garver.

It changes from year to year. Voting on that ends this weekend.

Garver
Aquino
Robles
Pham

I'm with DMT on this one.

[joncarlos]

I don't trust Aquino. Definitely keeping Yuli, Pham, Rogers, Garver. I'd add Robles as my 5, even though the net steals thing might not help him. I don't like anyone else enough that it really matters what 1B/C are available to compete with Yuli and Garver.

[Pauly]

Willie calhoun? If so love the dude. Also robles pham and cant decide on a fifth

Especially if it's the Twins...

[Hornsby]

C Garver $4
OF Pham $8
OF Robles $8
P T. Rogers $4
P J. Urias $4

Gives you a nice balance of power, speed, and pitching. I think Urias gets 150 innings this year, and they'll be pretty good innings.

[Sour Masher]

I see Haniger on the list. Is the consensus that he is broken at this point? How far has he fallen in value?

C Garver $4
1B/3B Y. Gurriel $4
2B/SS L. Urias $4*************See Aquino
SS C. Seager $18*************at $27. he is probably overpriced, especially in a shallow league
OF Aquino $4***************$6. is certainly worth keeping
OF Calhoun $4**************same as Aquino
OF Haniger $11
OF Pham $8***************$12. is a great price***keep
OF Robles $8**************same as Pham
OF Te. Hernandez $4
P Desclafani $4
P T. Rogers $4
P Stripling $5
P J. Urias $4*********possibly a keeper, depending on use in ST--$6. is very good in most formats, maybe not yours?

Pretty far, IMO. He’s missing a chunk of the front end of the season on top of recovery challenges.

I can see the Yuli versus Aquino argument, but I misread Willie Calhoun. I was mistaken and would take him over either Yuli or Aquino

[Ken]

On top of "wasn't that great last year either"

Sorry, Kole Calhoun.

Hey Scott,

The prices I listed are their keeper prices this year. Aquino, Urias, etc. would be $6 if I kept them in 2021. Not something I need to consider until this time next year, as there are no long-term contracts.
