I will blather on with inane drivel, regarding particulars of my roto situation, in hopes it is at least mildly entertaining. At same time, I have 2 roster management issues, over by 1 in farm, unsure of 1 spot in majors 10 keepers.
12 TM NL, standard $260 5x5, 23 man active, we can keep 10 majors + 8 farm. I did a slow burn talent pickup. The roster strength is not all front loaded for next year, so success of rebuild wont be evident for years.
Intent was to not have to do a rebuild again till 2017. In 5 years finishes in league:
1st, a 2nd, a 3rd, and this year will definitely be dead last by a country mile.
We have unusually generous keeper rules regarding farm, clock does not start while player is in minors. When he comes up he would be in year 0 effectively. You then get player as yr 1 + yr 2 at $5, and then in yr 3 can play him out for $5 or extend at + 5 per year. So my guy A Chapman is right now in yr 0, he is $5 thru 2013, then I can do $5 2014, but more likely will do $10 thru 2015.
Keepers look like this atm:
Farm, 5 1st round picks out of 12 total for league, draft not till march next year so wont look too deep at possible names (please at least 1 of Cole or Rendon, lol):
On My farm: James Tailon, D Norris, M Dominguez, J Singleton. I am over by 1 when counting the 5 1st round picks I have, need to move 1, or lose 1, sigh.
Keepers atm, 3 SP, 3 RP that I may be overvaluing but I love them, 3 hitters, and 1 open spot.
SP:
1-Johan Santana $6 (just a few years ago in this uber inflation league he went for $60)
2-S Strassburg $5 2012, then $5 2013, or $10 thru 2014, or $15 thru 2015
3-J Lyles $5, yr 0, so $5 thru 2014, or $10 thru 2015, $15 thru 2016
RP: (as added room for mockery, none are closers atm, but all have potential, all have years of eligibility cheap)
4-A Chapman $5
5-D Hernandez $5
6-A Bastardo $7
Hitters:
7-M Stanton $5 2012, then will get aggresive $15 thru 2015, or maybe $20 thru 2016 as I love him. We almost never do that long a contract, so prob stick for $15 thru 2015.
8-D Brown $5 yr 0, so $5 thru 2014, or $10 thru 2015, $15 thru 2016
9-L Duda $5 thru 2013
Drek options for 10th keeper spot, wanted a young cheap multi position swingman type for roster flexibility. But none of these 3 hitters look very good atm.
Angel Sanchez $2 (2b, ss, 3b, nice pos options)
Jonathan Herrera $1 (2b,ss)
Daniel Descalso $1 (2b, ss, 3b)
G Dobbs $5 (3b)
