AL 10 team Keeper Help

[mike9289]

Updated with trades:

Standard 5x5, can keep 11. Only caveat is that DH is a position. Guy must have 20 games there to be kept or bid on.

Jose Rameirez - $1
Victor Martinez - $10 - see above - GONE
Vogelbach - $3
Holt - $1
Matt Duffy - $5 - GONE
J. Bradley - $5, can extend for $5 a year
Brad Miller - $4, can extend GONE
Benintendi - $1
Bregman - $3
Chisenhall - $2, can extend
Bundy - $5 - GONE
Dan Duffy - $3
Aaron Sanchez - $7 GONE
Shoemaker - $7
Skaggs - $3
Stroman - $1, can extend
LIndor - $15
KInsler - $15

Right now the 5 I won't keep are Chisenhall, Vogelbach, Holt, Skaggs and Shoemaker. Anybody feel differently? What about extending Bradley or Stroman, or even Miller who is 1B/SS but will be probably be 2B eligible next year?



Thanks

Who even has DH eligibility in the AL this year? VMart, Beltran, Nelson Cruz I guess?

I think given that rule I'd keep VMart in a 10-team league.

I wouldn't extend Miller, I just don't trust him. I agree on tossing back Vogelbach, Holt, Chisenhall. Probably Skaggs too. I really like Shoemaker. I guess $7 is a lot for a 10-team AL? I might be inclined to throw back Matt Duffy instead and keep Shoemaker. I think I like Shoemaker more than Bundy if you're attached to Duffy. I just think you'll need somehwere to spend your money so keeping one less bat gives you one more place to spend.

I'd extend Bradley to $10, and Stroman to $6. Both are low risk.

I'd be inclined to keep Skaggs $3 over Matt Duffy $5. Duffy's ceiling seems a bit more limited than Skaggs' and in a 10 team AL Only, I think ceiling gets a bit higher consideration.

Other AL only DH qualifiers: EE, Avasail Garcia, Evan Gattis, Kendrys Morales, Pujols, Carlos Santana, and Trey Mancini (at least in how our rules work). If it's a 10-game requirement, the window opens a lot more.

Guys, want to bump this back up. Realized that a lot of studs at high prices would be kept leaving me little to buy with all my cash. So I traded for $15 LIndor and a $15 Kinsler (1st post updated). I plan to keep Shoemaker and Skaggs partly because both received some love here. Now I'm at 10 with those 4, Stroman, Bendi, Ramirez, Bregman, Bradley and Dan Duffy. Who for #11 and do you like the deals?

at least 20 game minimum for eligibility = morales, v.martinez, p.alvarez

if it is most game if not 20, include pompey, mancini and morneau

After getting rid of the players you apparently traded and said that you wouldn't keep I only see 10.

If you're asking to keep Chisenhall, Vogelbach, or Holt .... meh .... possibly Chisenhall - he should turn a profit at that salary.

You should be able to extend Bradley for a year. Don't extend Stroman - as a rule, I don't extend pitchers because of the risk.

What's the auction budget? If you have a $260 budget you'll have PLENTY to spend!

Yes, the question is who will be #11.

And the budget is $260. Getting the feeling though that a lot of the studs will be kept at non profit prices leaving me with nobody to buy with all this money. That's why I traded for Lindor and left myself short a keeper.

Given your trade and cash situation, I'd keep VMart at 10 for your DH slot. 90% of the time I'd agree with Kawaise about pitchers, but I would extend Stroman one year to 6. I agree about extending Bradley a year, too.
