  • 12-Team AL-only 4X4 Auction Keeper League

    12-Team AL-only 4X4 Keeper League (max 9 keepers per year)

    Hitting - HR's, RBI's, AVERAGE, STEALS
    Pitching - WINS, ERA, WHIP, SAVES

    My keepers are in bold.
    Our league always inflates hitting at the auction. My strategy this year was to spend 73% ($190) on hitting and 27% ($70) on pitching.
    I ended up spending 79% ($206) on hitting and 21% ($54) on pitching.
    The only pitchers I was targeting and was able to get were Junis ($1) and Middleton ($5). There were many other pitchers I wanted but could not afford to stay on budget. Both my closers (Osuna and Giles) have expiring contracts this year. I will look to trade one of them for starting pitching or possibly a hitter since I also have K. Middleton.
    All opinions on how I did and how I can improve are welcome (good or bad)?

    Thanks in advance!

    Love the buys on Candelario, Soler, Manaea, Junis, Middleton.
    Agree your pitching needs help. With Baretto up you have a bat to trade for a high-K starter.

      I bought Grichuk for a similar price this weekend and I have a little buyers remorse. He's not looking good so far this year. Hope he turns it around.

      Several other similarities in our teams:

      Candelariio
      Reddick
      Middleton

      I was targetting similar pitchers too (Manaea, Junis) but I got outbid on them and switched to Faria/Skaggs/Triggs/Lopez/Kennedy/Gibson in my middle tier (I have a lot of work to do on the pitching side like you!)

        I am surprised that closers are so cheap in a 4x4.

        This pitching staff could surprise if all goes well.

        I would not be in a hurry to move one of those closers. Let the season play out a bit to see what your needs are.

            AL 4x4 - From the reaction I get when I tell people I play in that kind of league, I thought I was the only one.

            Good looking team.

            Hitting is solid.

            I am in on Junis, like him a lot. Manaea should be good if his back holds up. I worry about Minor and Lincecum, as much because of Texas as talent. I agree about hanging on to the closers for a while and see how things shake out. If Tropeano is available, I'd keep him on the short list because I think he'll be up sooner rather than later.
