Can I get some help on who to pick? Keeper forever league and it is draft based so no $ involved. Points league which makes it harder to pin down what is best (at least for me to do so) but looks like standard 5x5 but replace average with OBP and add slugging % into the mix with a penalty for Ks.
I think Trout & Bryant are 1 & 2. I feel my options are Betts or Harper for OF; Altuve, Machado, Arenado for IF. Lots of young SS so I was ignoring Bogaerts, Correa and those guys hoping I can get one later.
Harper is 24 this year with one monster year and 3 pretty good years. OBP has been .350 to .370 except his one huge year when it was .460. Is he a .270 hitter with 25 HR power or is that monster year what we will see?
Betts is 24 with a big spike in power last year. Is that sustainable? So/BB walk ratio is good with OBP around .350 all 3 years.
Arenado is 26 but scares me if he leaves Colorado which he can do in 3 years.
Altuve is 27 with power spike last year and declining SB totals. probably my #1 target for 2B but as I am typing I am talking myself of him at #3 which means I won't get him.
Machado is 24 with power over the last 2 years. OBP around .350 each of the last 2 years as well. SB are probably closer to his 2016 total of 0 than the 2015 total of 20 but still a good 3b after Bryant goes.
Who should I take? Or is there another option(s) I am not thinking of?
