Redoing the keepers

[onejayhawk]

Losing Jose Fernandez shakes things up a bit. He and Goldschmidt were to be the backbone of the team.

16 team league that plays more like 18 teams. 464 players rostered, not counting DL.
C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, CI, MI, OF, OF, OF, OF, Util, SP, SP, SP, SP, RP, RP, RP, P, P, P, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN.

Three required keepers (required = K or by option = draft round)

1B: Paul Goldschmidt K
2B: Robinson Cano K
SS: Aledmys Diaz 10
OF: Christian Yelich 6
OF: Max Kepler 20
OF: Yasmany Tomas 14

SP: Carlos Carrasco 7
SP: Zack Wheeler 21
SP: Carlos Rodon 13
RP: Dellin Betances 5
RP: Kelvin Herrera 19

This is where things get different. I must keep one and have an option for a second, however I can cover the mandatory K with Yelich and get a pick back. The options value about a redraft #75 pick. The returned pick about #120

Zero or two of these:
Felix Hernadez
Andrew McCutchen
Jose Reyes
Ian Desmond (OF only)

Other options will value between #170 and #270. Preseason ranking determines the exact cost.
These come with options for two or three additional years (increasing cost).
I highlighted a few. Pick up to five.

Lucas Giolito
Orlando Arcia
Hyun-Jin Ryu
Cheslor Cuthbert
Derek Dietrich
Ozhaino Albies
Sean Manaea
Juan Nicasio
Jim Johnson
Chad Green
Corey Knebel
Nate Jones

The trade for Betances gives me a closer (hopefully). I need a 3B (Reyes?), CI and an OF, plus restock the SP.

Thoughts?

Felix and Desmond. Felix is Felix and Desmond is a lock for 20-20.

Lucas Giolito
Orlando Arcia
Hyun-Jin Ryu
Cheslor Cuthbert
Derek Dietrich
Ozhaino Albies
Sean Manaea
Juan Nicasio
Jim Johnson
Chad Green
Corey Knebel
Nate Jones

As for the rest. I think Giolito, Arcia, Manaea and Johnson are locks. Knebel and Jones if they will be closing. Not familiar enough with the rest to comment.
