This post is part rant, part strategy help. In my 12-team NL-only keeper league (OBP) the following trade just went down:
Kershaw ($11/0 years left on contract)
J. Reyes ($40/2)
J. Upton ($45/2)
AJ Ellis ($3/2)
Zambrano ($14/2)
Zack Wheeler ($5/2+)
for
Harper ($14/2)
Shelby Miller ($5/2+)
Dolis ($10/2)
Gee ($10/2)
S. Hairston ($10/2)
I realize Harper is the second coming, Dolis is technically a closer right now, and Miller is a pretty dang good prospect, but COME ON! There are no vetoes in my league, but I feel like this trade is a bit excessive.
Anyway, the guy who got that haul is in 3rd right now, 5 points behind me, and obviously poised to make a jump. I'd like to make a trade myself to keep up, but I'm not sure I have the resources. Would a combination of any of these keeper types net me a decent return?
Jon Jay ($1/1)
Stubbs ($15/1)
Espinosa ($5/1)
Pill ($2/2)
Cueto ($7/1)
E. Jackson ($12/2)
Niese ($10/2)
K-Rod ($11/2)
Joe Wieland ($5/2)
Robbie Erlin ($5/2+)
Archie Bradley ($3/2+)
Jed Bradley ($1/2+)
Allen Webster ($1/2+)
David Holmberg ($5/2+)
Chris Reed ($5/2+)
Andrew Chafin ($5/2+)
