I can't seem to concentrate at work today so I thought I'd see if I can get some thoughts on my potential keepers for next year. I dumped so I have more than I can keep which will make me motivated to make some trades.
It's a 13 team NL only league, $265 budget standard rosters but we start 10 pitchers. Standard 5x5 categories with K/IP instead of K. With Houston going to the AL we might reduce the rosters but nothing has been decided.
Here's what I got:
C Y Grandal $5A*
C J Thole $4A (probably not)
C D Mesoraco $10A
1B/OF A Craig $7C13* (signed and can only be kept next year)
1B/3B T Frazier $1A*
1B/3B/OF(?) M Carpenter $4A
2B/OF S Lombardozzi $4A
2B/SS J Rutledge $12F
OF E Bonifacio $3B* (needs to be extended, I'm thinking two years at $5 each)
OF B Jackson $5A (nice potential but ugly numbers so far)
OF C Blackmon $1A (only with job which seems unlikely)
P M Bumgarner $20C14*
P J McDonald $4A*
P S Marcum $10A*
P M Minor $10B* (probably wouldn't extend (?) but I like him at this price when considering his second half numbers)
P A Chapman $10B* (another extension candidate)
P D Hernandez $3B (ditto - It's a shame I read that Putz's option will be picked up)
P S Marshall $3B (ditto - love his arm but is he worth a keeper spot as a MR?)
P A Vizcaino $6A (dark horse closer in ChC?)
P D Pomeranz $10A (four man rotation has really stunted his development)
I *'d the obvious nine guys in my opinion. But picking those last 3 are tough, I like all the guys I can keep. What concerns me about the list is there isn't really that big stud at a cheap/afordable price. Unless you consider Bonifacio or Bumgarner a stud. I like Carpenter and Lombardozzi, especially at those prices, but what exactly are they going to do for me next year and how much value will they give me?
Down on the farm I also have O Taveras, N Arenado, J Baez, K Wong, Z Wheeler and J Bradley. If any of them make the opening day roster they would have to be kept as one of the 12 keepers or put back in the draft.
So there you have it, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
