10-team NL 5x5. Inflation around 40%, a lot of which is concentrated in the top-end hitters -- the only top-end players available are Holliday, Reyes, Zimmerman, Ethier, Utley, Phillips, and McCann.
I just traded McCutchen ($1, option year so he's getting a raise) for Tommy Hanson ($2, year 2), and I feel like I'm going in with a decent team but unsurprisingly I'm suddenly worried about my offense.
Here's my keeper list, and then the fringe guys... I'm not planning to keep any of them but I could use a bit of confidence.
Conveniently, none of my guys are in their option year so I don't have to think about that. Next year will be ugly though.
1B: Gaby Sanchez $7
2B: Rickie Weeks $24
SS: Juan Uribe $1
OF: Michael Bourn $14 (expiring contract)
OF: Corey Hart $23 (expiring contract)
OF: Andres Torres $10
OF: Logan Morrison $1
P: Tommy Hanson $2
P: Roy Oswalt $24
P: Hiroki Kuroda $17
P: Ricky Nolasco (topper rights only, will be auction salary -$5)
P: Ryan Franklin $12
P: Jonny Venters $5
(P: Craig Kimbrel $5, but not on my active roster for the auction)
minors: Julio Teheran $10, Wilmer Flores $5
and marginal options:
Matt Holliday $53
Aramis Ramirez $30
Ryan Theriot $9
Ben Francisco $7
Should I keep any of those guys? I'm considering Francisco but then my outfield would be full.
(Also, this team seems decent, right? There's one ridiculous team but this feels above average to me. I still have about $10 to spend on pitching and about $100 on hitting.)
