Man, I hate being out of the race. Nothing to do except make a few piddling moves and think about next year. So, even though it is way too early, here's what I'm thinking about my guys.
15-team mixed 5x5 keeper league. "B" means they have two years left on their contract (2012, 2013), "C" means their final year unless extended at $5 per year. I have one "Y" guy, which means he's already extended for 2012 and 2013.
I can keep up to 10. The guys in bold are the ones I'm leaning toward right now.
1B Hosmer, Eric 10.0 B
OF Gonzalez, Carlos 20.0 Y
OF Hart, Corey 4.0 C*
OF Reddick, Josh 1.0 B
OF Stanton, Mike 5.0 C*
OF Swisher, Nick 6.0 C
UT Jennings, Des 5.0 C*
P Hamels, Cole 25.0 C
P Kennedy, Ian 2.0 C
P Shields, James 12.0 B
P Hanrahan, Joel 1.0 C*
P Parnell, Bobby 3.0 B
I don't like the fact that this would lock up every single outfield spot, but Swisher seems a lock for good power numbers.
Parnell could figure in if he nails down the closer job for 2012.
Guys who are cheap but not being considered include: Mike Minor, Jordan Lyles, Jeff Karstens, Omar Infante.
"*" means I am planning on extending for a single year, through 2013.
Not much in the minors, Ryan Khalish.
Are these the ten? Is Hamels a keeper at this price? Am I extending the right guys? Should anyone get a 2-year extension? I'm strongly considering making Jennings $15 through 2014.
Thanks everyone.
