I've been thinking about retiring from fantasy baseball for a while and a few years ago when I had a rookie Trout, Harper, and Moore (#1, 2, and 3 top prospects that year) I decided that I'd retire after the 2015 season, when all three would have expired contracts. I traded Moore away, but still have Trout and Harper. Still waiting for that breakout season from Harper though...
Our 2nd kid is on the way, due around July 1, I'm wondering if I should just go ahead and retire now. I won both my leagues last year, redraft and keeper, first time I've ever done this. I also won my keeper in 2013 so I could go for the threepeat in 2015. The plan was to quit the redraft league and only do my keeper in 2015 and then retire.
Would you retire now if you had these keepers in 2015? Keep in mind closers are not worth a lot because we stupidly voted to do SV+H as a cat replacing SV. So Allen and Doolittle probably get tossed back if not traded. I'd almost surely do all 1 yr contracts unless I want some trade ammo. I could probably trade Bryant, Rodonm Castillo, etc for a good return. I only need 10 majors, 6 minors. I have others but didnt list everyone. I have 9 stared that I either have to keep or likely will keep.
