AL keeper list - can you comment?

[cleo]

Our keeper lists are due and I am looking for any comments. This is a 12 team AL only league with the standard $260 cap. We use OB% instead of AVG. And we use Quality Starts instead of Wins, and Hold+Saves instead of Saves.

Let me know what you think on my list. Thanks for any comments/help. Not sure on Maybin or Garcia as a keeper, but inflation is usually pretty high in my league. Sale, Altuve, and Donalson each went for over $50 last year in our auction.

Evan Gattis C $1
Albert Pujols 1B $22
Kyle Seager 3B $27
Yuli Gurriel 3B $2
Mark Trumbo OF $24
Cameron Maybin OF $11
Avisail Garcia OF $8
Ryon Healy 3B $9

Matt Bush P $2
Josh Tomlin P $3

Lots of no brainers there.

Garcia and Tomlin are at value. I'd probably toss them back, but if you are a believer they could offer some value.

I think that everyone but Garcia are keeps...good prices for all.

thanks Horns and Virg for your comments.

even Maybin a good price at $11??? I know SB are getting harder to come by in the AL, but will Maybin lose AB;s to Revere? Maybin is on the bad side as a RH hitter if they decide to go with a platoon between him and Revere. Thoughts??

[Hornsby]

I don't think that there's a platoon there, at least I haven't read anything like that. Maybin is the starter, and a better player, Revere is a very good slap hitter and a mediocre defensive player (no arm at all), so I can't see Revere cutting into Maybin's PT other than injury, which almost always happens to him I see 4th OFer, pinch runner for Revere...

[virgonomic]

Maybin is a ~$10 player. With inflation, he's still around value.

Revere would need a big bounceback to become a platoon player. It might happen, but I wouldn't shy away from Maybin based on the chance.

[cool hand]

I'd cut Garcia & Tomlin, unless you really like them.
I'm 60/40 on cutting Maybin.
I personally wouldnt pay double digits for him, but he's probably borderline.
