  • Shohei Otani in keeper/dynasty leagues

    Would you carry Otani all year for what value he may hold in 2018?
    If so, what would make you cut the string?

    I play in only leagues. So signing with the "other" league would do it for me.

    Or if I found myself in a position to win and needed some hekp, I would cut the string by trading him.

      He sounds Hawaiian.

      I like his Japanese brother quite a bit though. I'd carry him if I had a very deep bench/minors (15+)

        Yeah. I can't edit the title.

        We are talking 6-8 bench positions.

          Is he the Japanese version of Babe Ruth? I had to google him which shows how prepared I am for the draft.

            We carry a deeper bench but I would still carry him with 6-8 spots. The more hype he gets the better the trade chip. Plus it might be really fun to have him when he is here.

              We have 10-player benches (and very favorable keeper rules for guys who haven't lost rookie status [they can be kept on the reserve roster over seasons]), and I am sure he'll be drafted this year and kept all year by someone.

                No such luck here, hence the question.

                  Go get him. Especially if he's your 8th bench spot.

                    Got him with 5 option years. Keeping him through the season will be the hard part.

                      Just takes discipline to play with one less slot.

                        Yep. And of course you trade him if you get an offer you cannot refuse...that is why they call it an offer you cannot refuse.

                          SUNDAY: On whether he'll immigrate to the majors in the offseason, Otani told 60 Minutes that "nothing is for certain," …


                          How would he handled in fantasy leagues if he were to pitch and DH/play in the field?
