Realmuto and catcher strategy

[swampdragon]

I have the potential to trade away or keep Realmuto in a 12 team yahoo roto league

I can keep Realmuto as my 14th round player (one year) and throw away a 21st round Tim Anderson
OR trade Realmuto and a 10 or 11th round pick and receive a probably 5th - maybe 4th round draft pick and keep Anderson as my 21st rounder instead

I would keep a 21st round Anderson over a 14th round Realmuto.

Anderson has a better team this year. I think he gets better than last year.

Option 2 trading away Realmuto and keeping Anderson seems like the better option by far to me.

I would prefer Realmuto in the 14th over TA in the 21st, in a 12-team league. But it's close. But getting an update from the 10th round to the 5th round in addition? That makes it a lot closer. It's roto, so what would your speed look like? How many players are kept?

Clevinger - one year 13th round
Suarez - one year 13th round
Villar - one year 10th round
Woodruff - 2 years at 23rd round

and one more

In a 12 team league, and with only 1 year to go, I'd have a hard time keeping Clevinger... even at 13th rd, you're only getting maybe 60-80% of a full season, probably under 150 IP... let someone else overdraft him if they dont think it's a big deal to invest heavily in injured SP in a 12 team format.

I also own Clevinger at $11 through '21 in an AL only. I love the guy. I'm only advising based on your league size and keeper dynamics.

[chancellor]

I'm with Ken on this one - I'd do the deal if you can make it happen.

[cavebird]

I'm with Teenwolf. I'd drop Clevinger. (And I am assuming this is a 1 C league---if it is a 2 C league, then you keep Realmuto without question.) I'd honestly keep both over Villar in the 10th, too.

still tough call

There are 60 people kept before the draft - so ADPs must be adjusted - cant keep players drafted last year in round 4 or earlier
so 1st 2 rounds go about as predicted (Soto kept though)
but round 3 changes drastically - middle of round 3 available are Bryant, Machado, Cruz for example
and so does 4 - middle available Greinke, Ozuna, Gallo
and from there on gets more drastic

keeper round inflation is huge for Clevinger (even injured), Anderson, Realmuto, Suarez (even injured)

trying to trade just about any player for an upgraded draft pick but no real interest
