Hey all, here's the deal. 5x5 (OBP rather than AVG), NL-Only, 12 teams, $280 cap (with 25, rather than 23, extra UT and extra P spot). I have a $29 Papelbon that I don't really want to keep. Not that many people want to keep him either, so there has been limited interest. I've been offered a bunch of different deals, and I'm not 100% sold on any of them, but wanted to run them by the penners and see if anything jumped out as something I should go for. All contracts are beginning their 2nd year unless otherwise noted.
Option 1: Papelbon at $29 and Kyle Blanks at $1 for Gregor Blanco at $10 and Brad Brach at $2
Option 2: Papelbon at $29 and Chris Capuano at $5 (due extension) for Scott Hairston at $10.
Option 3: Papelbon at $29 and Jesus Guzman at $3 (due extension) for Scott Hairston at $10.
Option 4: Papelbon at $29, Guzman at $3 (due extension) and Blanks at $1 for Scott Hairston at $10 and Josh Bell, MLE at $2
Option 5: Papelbon at $29 and Alexei Amarista at $3 for Jeff Karstens at $4 (waiver pickup, so commencing his first year) and Jordany Valdespin at $5
Of course, I can always just keep Papelbon, but as I said, I'm not in love with the idea, since I'll need to acquire a lot of hitting in the auction and chewing up $29 on a closer is not really helpful.
Below are my potential keepers (including those on the borderline who I may not keep):
S. Strasburg- $18
J. Samardzija- $7 or $12
M. Harvey- $5
W. Rodriguez- $10
T. Wood- $5
C. Capuano- $5
L. Gregerson- $2
M. Belisle- $1
R. Tejada- $1
M. Kemp- $54
J. Guzman - $3
K. Blanks - $1
C. Johnson - $3
J. Kelly- $3
J. Papelbon- $29
