P Johnny Cueto Cin C 8 *Keeper - traded Craig Kimbrel for him last year
P Aaron Harang LAD B 6
P Michael Fiers Mil B 1

bat are always expensive in this league, Pence and Bruce are two more potential keepers to my way of thinking
Last number is their contract amount, the B or C in front indicates the year of their contract B-2nd year, C-this is third and final year.
This team (minus the players not shown due to expired contracts finished 3rd last year).

How many keepers do you get?

Man, I always forget something. I can keep up to 7.

I'd also consider:
Bruce- If hitters are expensive, he's a few dollars under value and really is as consistent as they come.
Fowler- I think he's going to get lots of ABs this year, which might translate into a good deal of SBs. He'll go for more at draft?
Pence- Same logic as with Bruce, but I see a drop-off coming so I'm not as high on him as some.
Bailey- I don't know how SPs cost in your league, but this seems a fair price to me.
Fiers- A decent $1 flier.

In addition to the 4 you listed:
Fiers
Bailey
Fowler

[Steve]

Do you *have* to keep the guys you've listed as keepers?

Anyway, here's who I'd keep in bold.

I wouldn't blame you for wanting to keep Bruce but I'd throw Pence back for sure. I know Beltran is getting old but he's been awesome the last couple years.

No, I don't have to keep the ones marked keeper. Those are just the ones I was pretty sure I was going to keep.

Yeah, Fowler will go for more at draft. I'm judt not sure I trust him.

[DJBeasties]

Yeah, Fowler will go for more at draft. I'm judt not sure I trust him.

He's great to cycle in daily leagues at Coors, bench him on the road. Otherwise, hard to stick with him in weekly formats as he's a mess for stretches.

I would add Beltran, Fowler and Bruce to your list of 4. I like Bailey more than Fiers if you want to keep a pitcher.

In addition to the 4 you listed:
Fiers
Bailey
Fowler

This is how I would go too.

[willthethrill]

I don't like Pence at all at 30. I wouldn't pay that for him at auction, let alone keep him. I think that Bruce and Beltran are fairly priced.

[Steve]

Thank guys!
