    RJEL Keepers

    So to combine two threads I've authored here (Last Keeper Choice and Can this Rotation Compete)

    I'm going to throw it all together and get your thoughts on Stars and scrubs vs Spread the Risk.

    LOTS of big names offensively, will be back in the pool, The pitching pool is a bit thinner (at least at this moment)

    18 team, mixed roto 5x5 with OBP replacing Avg TOUGH competition

    Zero is first year, a second, b last. Extensions are dated by year.

    Arenado $14 2018
    Reddick $11 b
    Castillo $1 b

    Sale $36 b
    Cole $16 2018
    A Sanchez $5 a
    I Nova $4 b
    Eickhoff $3 a

    A Chapman $22 a
    Dyson $4 a

    That's keeping $116 leaving $149 for 13 starters and 5 bench guys ($1)


    Are there any b contracts you'd extend? Nova is the only one I'd even consider.

    Stars and scrubs gives me 3 big ticket guys to anchor my offense alone with Nolan while Spread will give me 5-6 second-third tier guys. The offensive draft pool does look deep enough to find value either way.

    Would a $3 Finnegan replace any of these guys?

    Thanks in advance--

    No extensions and Finnegan doesn't make the cut IMO. As for your strategy, I think it depends on whether owners are bidding the stars well past their inflated values. If that's the case, I'd go with STR. I generally prefer to land a few big names but I came to the eye-opening realization that no one who has paid over $60 for a single player has ever won our league.

      I don't think I've ever gone past the low $50s in any league or auction ever in my life.

        I have once...Carlos Gomez for $65 two years ago. Unfortunately the top-tier guys in my league usually hit $60. Bautista and McCutchen both went for $69 last year, Stanton for $73, Votto $63, Miggy $67. Harper, Goldschmidt, and Altuve back in the auction pool for the first time in 5 years, should be insanity.

            You'd fit right into our league! One of our league's many memes is IJP (it's just piss). Long story, not for public consumption.

              This with the exception in our league I change $60 to $50 for a single player.

                Reddick at $11 is a very marginal keep, IMO.

                  Yeah, I'd agree...he's only played more than 150 games once in his career, and most years well under that.

                  I'm also not crazy with Cole for 16 bucks...lots of boom or bust there.

                    So Reddik at $11 or Upton at $1?

                      Honestly, I'd keep Upton as much as I don't like him. He'll give you really cheap speed, and some power. You've just got to hope his OBP isn't a killer...

                        Steamer always likes Reddick and he always disappoints. I agree that he's very marginal.

                          I've always been intrigued by reddick, small man crush--thought his new digs might bring his bat back, but now that you mention it--He probably won;t go for more than 11 if he's in the draft pool.

                            And Houston is unbelievably deep. I think if you toss him back, he goes for $7 to $9.

                              Agree on keeping Upton at a buck.
                              I'm just here for the baseball.
