Keeper Help

[buffalopanther]

Hey, guys. Mixed 10-team league with R-BB-2B-HR-RBI-SB-Avg and K-SV-ERA-WHIP-QS. 'Normal' 23-man roster. I can keep one of these and would lose their respective round in this year's draft. Leaning towards Iglesias. I have the 4th overall pick this year. Thoughts? Thanks.

4th - K. Jensen
15th - R. Iglesias
10th - Bauer, Godley, R.Hill, A.Wood
1st - G.Sanchez, Votto
10th - Incarte

Phew...with BB as a category, I'd be hard pressed not to keep Votto, even if it means burning your first round pick. He's a five-category stud in your format, and an absolute game changer in BB.

But if you're unwilling to burn your first pick, I'd next keep Inciarte.

Votto was my first thought as well. I know that most fantasy players are big on keeping closers, but Jansen is so damn dominant. Although 4th round might be stretching it for him. Inciarte would be my next choice after those two if you don't like keeping a 4th round closer.

Iglesias and Jansen help you in 3 out of 12 categories. They should not even be in the conversation in my opinion.

Has to be a hitter. Votto seems like the right pick.

-- side note - leagues like this make me very confused - in this league you are significantly better off if your guy hits a double than if he hits a triple. Say what??

Votto for me as well.

Yep has to be a hitter.

I can just imagine myself on the last day of the season fighting for that 2B category and my hitter rips one in the gap and I'm thinking YES, YES, YES, then he rounds 2nd heading for 3rd and I'm thinking NO, NO, NO, then he gets thrown out at third to end the game and I'm back to "YES, my guy got thrown out at 3rd!!!"

So strange.

Thanks, guys. I'm new to the league and it's definitely a change, in terms of scoring. Forgot to mention that it's weekly head-to-head roto format, if that makes a difference.

Just punching in some custom rankings with/without the BB moves Votto from #2 to #17 overall (and in contrast, Trea Turner moves from #26 to #5). Gonna be an interesting draft...
