Choose 8 to keep

[onejayhawk]

16 team H2H. I typically load up on bullpen and punt W. But we must start 3 SP.
This is the base roster.

Cano 2B
Grienke SP
Beltre 3B
Elsbury OF
Goldschmidt (6) 1B
Freese (7) 3B
Trout (9) OF
Henderson Alvarez (18) SP
Matt Harrison (19) SP

Choose 8 of

Andrelton Simmons (Atl - SS)
Josh Willingham (Min - OF)
Jason Kubel (Ari - OF)
Joel Hanrahan (Pit - RP)
Ernesto Frieri (LAA - RP)
Randall Delgado (Atl - SP)
Martín Pérez (Tex - SP)
Anthony Gose (Tor - OF)
Nick Castellanos (Det - 3B)
Jedd Gyorko (SD - 3B)
Travis d'Arnaud (Tor - C)
Julio Teherán (Atl - SP)
Zack Wheeler (NYM - SP)
Xander Bogearts (Bos - SS)

Is there anyone on Yahoo that bumps any of these? Anyone in the published top 25 is likely taken.

Why not Simmons? I need a SS, and he looks to be the regular in Atlanta next year. In this league, Cozart is top 10 rounds.

I think I'd keep Simmons over Bogearts... given that many keepers, you're probably right that everyone will keep their starting SS. You'd think that would mean you could have your pick of the leftovers, but I'm sure people won't let them fall too far.

[onejayhawk]

Not everyone has this many keepers. You will note that many of these were WW pickups, which have special rules. I managed to parlay JJ Hardy, my 2010 SS, and a 2010 WW pickup into Freese, Kubel and Miggy Montero (not keeping).

All that being said, Hak Ju Lee was drafted, though dropped.

BN Byron Buxton

We decided to move the farm onto the roster, since Yahoo has room, but we still allow drafting of non-Y! players. Buxton was my favorite pick. I get him 4 years on options before I have to burn a keeper on him.

I got Segura off WW in October. No kidding.

BTW I kept Simmons and traded him with Castellanos for Hamels.
