Unfortunately the team with the best keeper list also outdrafted me, so this will be difficult.
One major mistake was not noticing that Carl Crawford had been kept and only having Pagan left as a source of steals on the board, so having to overpay for him, and I also decided to take Gregor Blanco for $4 instead of Trevor Rosenthal, which may have been wrong in that I could have gotten Byrd or Hairston later.
I also may have gone too hard for catchers because every other year I've had terrible catchers and it annoys me. And I probably should have taken some kind of decent pitcher at some point.
Inflation is pretty high; the only premium players (Votto, Kemp, Upton) went around 50.
Keepers are starred.
C: Molina $25, Ramos $8
1B: Votto $53
2B: Phillips $29*
SS: Espinosa $5*
MI: Barney $1*
3B: Carpenter $5*
CI: Goldschmidt $5*
OF: Blanco $4, Craig $15*, Duda $7*, Hart $22, Pagan $26
U: Grandal $5
Bench: Heisey $12, Valbuena $10, Nix $10, Gregorius $10, Hamilton $10*, Rendon $9*, Soler $6*, Eaton $5*, Flores $5, Ruf $5*
P: Billingsley $3, Burnett $2*, Cishek $5*, Detwiler $3, Haren $11, Harvey $10*, Nicasio $3, Nolasco $1, Street $12
Bench: Hefner $10, WLopez $10, Mujica $10, AJRamos $10, Teheran $10*, Blackburn $5, Cingrani $5*
so I'm activating Heisey and Nix for Hart and Grandal for now, and Teheran for Billingsley.
