NL-Only 2019 keeper list

[overkill94]

11-team NL-only 5x5 (OBP) keeper league

Currently sitting in 4th, 6 points out of 3rd and 20 points out of 1st. Looking to make one more trade to at least move me up into 3rd. Trying to get an objective look at who I should be holding onto and who might be expendable. We start 15 hitters (2 C, 5 OF, 2 UTIL) and 10 pitchers.

As of now I'd be able to keep 12 but that would go up or down based on if I move up or down in the standings.

C - Contreras ($13/contract through 2020)
C - Mesoraco ($4/20)
1B - Freeman ($41/19)
1B - Desmond ($18/20)
SS - Seager ($20/21)
SS - Peraza ($15/19)
3B - Turner ($22/20)
OF - Soto ($5/20)
OF - Margot ($2/19 - need to decide whether he's worth an extension to $12/21)
OF - N. Williams ($5/19)
OF - Markakis ($10/20)

P - J. Nelson ($2/19)
P - Desclafani ($1/20)
P - T. Ross ($2/20)
P - Musgrove ($10/20)
P - Morrow ($16/20)
P - Jeffress ($1/20)

Thanks harmon.

Williams is the one I'm trying to trade but I'm not getting the return I would hope for yet.

The current offer I have on the table is Kenley Jansen and Rich Hill for Seager. I think I need a little more, trying to get him to throw in Villar but he wants me to include Nelson who I think is a great keeper assuming he shows some competency if/when he comes back this year.

I think Harmon nails it. Only thing I’d say is Nelson would almost have to get hurt again for me not to keep him at that price.

What do you man "hurt again"? IIRC, he was supposed to be back by midseason, and he's just now being cleared to throw breaking balls. Never trust pitcher with a shoulder injury...

In concept, I agree with you. But he’s only $2, and should get some innings in September.
