PONY keepers

[joncarlos]

15-team mixed, standard $260, 23-man, 5x5, 2 catchers. Keep 10.

SP Sonny Gray $10 g17 (must keep)
OF Pollock $11 g18 (must keep)
OF Springer $5 o17 (due extension - thinking I sign him at $15/yr through 2019? Or only $10/1 extra year or $20/3 extra years?)

SP MIchael Fulmer $3 018
C Wilson Contreras $5 o18
2B/3B/SS Javy Baez $1 o18
OF Buxton $5 o19
2B Lemahieu $5 o17
SS Tim Anderson $5 o19
OF Reddick $2 o17
1B Greg Bird $1 o18
SP Sean Manaea $5 o19
3B/OF Brandon Drury $5 o18
2B Raul Mondesi $5 o19
SP Lance Lynn $1 o18

I'd extend Springer two years.

Fulmer
Contreras
LeMahieu (also extend one year?)
Bird
Baez
Buxton
Anderson

Manaea tough call but couldn't justify replacing any of the others. Maybe try to find a 2-for-1 deal.

[Gregg]

I am agreeing with DMT across the boards.

[chancellor]

I agree with both with one exception- I'd keep Manaea over Bird. At least from what I've read, the Yanks plan to use Chris Carter against lefties.

I'm with Chance on this.

And $15 a year on Springer feels right.

Yea good point...I'd probably go Manaea as well if you can't swing any deals.

[madducks]

Agree with the above. Manaea over Bird and two years on Springer. Also, i would have no problem keeping Lynn at $1 if you get a chance to make a 2 for 1 deal to upgrade.

OK, well I traded Gray and Pollock for a $5 Billy Hamilton. So now I'm kind of looking at

1-OF Hamilton $5 o17
2-OF Springer $5 o17
3-SS Tim Anderson $5 o19
4-SP MIchael Fulmer $3 018
5-C Wilson Contreras $5 o18
6-2B/3B/SS Javy Baez $1 o18
7-OF Buxton $5 o19
8-2B Lemahieu $5 o17
9-1B Greg Bird $1 o18
10-SP Sean Manaea $5 o19
----
3B/OF Brandon Drury $5 o18
OF Reddick $2 o17
2B Raul Mondesi $5 o19
SP Lance Lynn $1 o18


I'm not that worried about Bird not facing lefties - I'll take 450 good PAs at my CI spot, instead of 450 good and 150 bad.

John, Seeing you just traded for him, what I'd most be worried about is Billy Hamilton staying healthy. As someone who watched nearly every Reds game last season, seems Billy is pretty fragile overall between his 2016 season concussion, thumb contusion, knee injury and finally his oblique injury. Awesome base stealing when he plays. It will be an interesting sb race this year between Hamilton/Turner/Gordon... IF Billy can stay healthy, you certainly have to give the edge to him, but I think it's a big IF.
