I have 2020 options on Scherzer 44, CSmith 1, Samardzija 1, Cueto 1
HQ projected values for best expected FA SPs in my auction, based on my league parameters:
Scherzer 32
Castillo 23
Nola 18
Bauer 15
Thor 13
RRay 8 (if in NL)
Porcello 7
Stroman 6
(only 7 others worth at least 1, pre-inflation)
HQ sees my "Three Cricketeers" as worth a combined 20 for 3 units
so keeping Scherzer makes it 47 units spent for a 52 unit return (I have Marquez 10, too, who HQ has at 7), which would be a nice result in a perfect world
inflation tends to run a little over 20 percent (farmhands are only 5 units not 10)
Castillo and Nola will go for 30+, and I can see Thor climbing into the high 20s on dreams.
reasonable to throw Max back in and take my chances, of course.
but there's something else in play - if he's suddenly off the table when keeper lists come out 4 days before the auction, I'd like to think that could create an even bigger and more entertaining frenzy for Castillo. It also would simplify my auction prep - look for cheap rising RPs late, and pound the hitting market early.
this is a standard dilemma in many leagues with up to half of all roster slots being frozen before the auction.
thoughts?
