Well, it's time for my annual post. My keeper list is below. I went into last season on a 2-year plan and then actually competed past the all-star break due to some luck and good drafting. Eventually my team fell back and I made some additional trades to set up for this year. I want to try and package some of the 2nd tier keepers to get another 1 or 2 studs, but it's been slow going so far.
Below are my potential keepers, players under contract are listed and those I think I should sign are listed with keep before their salary. I can only keep 12. I have 8, but will likely cut Reimold, especially after the Vlad signing. That leaves me with 5 more guys to keep.
I can also keep 2 minor eligible players. I have to keep Ackley or take a $5 hit at the auction. So that means I can keep one more. I was thinking Belt since he should be up this year. That also means I am trying to move Harper in a combo deal to get a player this year...
So, what does the Pen say? Do I have the right 5 guys listed to get to 12? Do you think this is a list that can compete for a championship this year (14 team 5x5 $260 auction)? Would you keep Belt or Harper or one of the other guys?
Thanks for any thoughts you can share.
