10-team NL-only, $260. I have a good keeper list and might head into the draft with a boatload of money and only eight spots to fill. The problem is I have too many outfielders I like and may fill up all five of my outfield spots with keepers, limiting me to just one outfielder I could buy on draft day (to put in the utility spot), which would partially negate the advantage of having the extra money. Sure, I can put McCutchen there, but then I can't bid on another outfielder the rest of the day. Seems like a problem.
The obvious solution is to trade one, but is this a big problem or not? Value is value, and if I can get it before the draft, rather than pay inflation prices, isn't it worth it?
Let's say you had five guys with these values (I'm leaving the names out so as not to bias you with opinions on specific players. Though my problem is specific to me, I'm more interested in what to do generally in this situation. Let's just assume that the players are worth the values below):
OF1 - Cost: $21. Value: $15-30. Age: 30. Skills: Power/speed. Solid veteran.
OF2 - Cost: $10., Value: $15-30. Age: 23. Skills: Power/speed. Hopefully a future star.
OF3 - Cost: $10. Value: $10-25. Age: 22. Skills: Light power/speed. Hopefully a future star.
OF4 - Cost: $5. Value: $8-15. Age: 26. Skills: power. Up-and-comer.
OF5 - Cost: $1. Value: $5-15. Age: 28. Skills: elite speed.
if you take the midpoint of "value" for each, you get $84 of value for just $47, which is pretty good, especially when you consider that these guys can all be kept NEXT year at these prices as well. I just would like opinions on how much this will hamstring me in my 2014 draft.
Thanks!
