keepers - NL - nine team 5x5

[swampdragon]

I had an old NL 12 team auction league -it spanned Chipper Jones's entire MLB career and it slowly have been resurfacing in a more dilute form

We did a snake draft and now are going back to a $260 9 team draft with a less positions, 1b,3b,ss,2b,c, 4 OF, util1, util2, 9 pitchers - 7 bench 5x5 yahoo with OBA instead average

so - I can keep 4 at their current salary this year
suggestions
Carlos Martínez (StL - SP) $4.00
Wil Myers (SD - 1B,OF) $11.00
Dansby Swanson (Atl - SS) $1.00
Tyler Glasnow (Pit - SP) $4.00
Marcell Ozuna (Mia - OF) $9.00
Yasmani Grandal(LAD - C) $10.00
A.J. Ramos(Mia - RP) $17.00
Ender Inciarte (Atl - OF) $4.00
Jung Ho Kang (Pit - 3B) $2.00
Travis Jankowski (SD - OF) $7.00
Iván Nova (Pit - SP,RP) $7.00
Curtis Granderson (NYM - OF) $9.00
Hyun-Jin Ryu (LAD - SP) $3.00
Tony Watson (Pit - RP) $6.00
Mark Reynolds (Col - 1B) $7.00
Mauricio Cabrera (Atl - RP) $7.00
Brandon Maurer (SD - RP) $7.00
Tony Cingrani (Cin - RP) $7.00
César Hernández (Phi - 2B) $8.00
Ryan Zimmerman (Was - 1B) $13.00
Jaime García (Atl - SP) $15.00
Gerardo Parra (Col - 1B,OF) $19.00



also - I like stars and scrubs strategy and wonder if it works better with less teams than more - maybe I can grab 4 stars at $40 and fill in the rest - thoughts are appreciated

C-Mart, Myers, Swanson, Inciarte

[GwynnInTheHall]

I like your top 4

Carlos Martínez (StL - SP) $4.00
Wil Myers (SD - 1B,OF) $11.00
Dansby Swanson (Atl - SS) $1.00
Tyler Glasnow (Pit - SP) $4.00

That gives you 240 going into the draft/auction.

2 studs and 2 high end prospects who should be great this season.

C-Mart, Myers, Swanson, Inciarte

This +1

[Hornsby]

C-Mart, Myers, Ozuna, Kang...leaves lots of money for the auction.

Glasnow could give you nothing, and Swanson may never be the fantasy stud some people think he'll be...

Here you go--some good choices!

[Fresno Bob]

With 9 teams, replacement value is great, so I'm looking for cheap guys that give you high value over the replacement pool, I'd keep Martinez, Myers, Inciarte, and Kang

[Gregg]

The talent is there with Kang, but can you afford to have him miss a big chunk of the season in a 9 teamer?

[Sour Masher]

C-Mart, Myers, Swanson, Inciarte

Tough calls, but I'd probably go with this. I'm a bigger fan of Ozuna than Iciarte, and might spend the extra money to keep him, but the price difference makes it a tough choice.

[swampdragon]

Kang is out - anyone else want to weigh in - thanks

Still like this.

I might bump Glasnow for Janokowski. Glasnow still hasn't found the strike zone and it may be awhile before he puts it all together
