This is a competitive 12-team NL only with mostly RJ'ers. Team finished 5th last year and feel like this is a huge year as I have a couple of really valuable keepers in their last year. Have a strong set of keepers but the last slot is up in the air and could use some additional pov's.
- OPTION 1: Alex Presley ($7B - second year contract)
- OPTION 2: Anthony Rizzo ($5A - have to keep on bench as I promoted him LY)
Initially I was going Rizzo without question as I think the trade to the north side will do him well and LaHair is just keeping the seat warm (and having a bad spring thus far). But Presley has had a nice spring and looks to be starting in LF and batting leadoff. There is not a lot of talent on offense in the auction so Presley should easily fetch double digits and the 20+SBs would certainly help.
Other keepers for some context:
1. Justin Upton $15 (last year of contract)
2. Jay Bruce $15 (have him for 2013 at same price)
3. Jason Heyward $5B
4. Pablo Sandoval $12 (last year of contract)
5. Ike Davis $5B
6. Neil Walker $5B
7. Dan Uggla $26C
8. Jose Reyes $40B
9. Matt Garza $12B
Uggla and Reyes may be higher priced but again there is very little offense available at auction and I can say with certainty both guys would go for much more.
Thanks in advance.
