what do expect as an inflation rate?

what do expect as an inflation rate?

Probably around 15% for hitters and 20-25% for starting pitchers. SPers will be weak in the draft and usually are over paid for

12 team AL only keeper roto 5x5 w/obp $260

C Phegly $1
1B Wallace $10
3B Longo $33
SS Villar $13 - Keep. He could crater your OBP, but dang, he can run
2B Infante $8 - Keep. Not awesome, but he's a mid-teens value, even in KC.
2B Roberts $8
CI/OF Moss $18
OF Ibanez $4
OF Maxwell $12
OF Ellsbury $32 - There isn't an AL player around who scares me more than him. With your options, I'd keep him. I think.
OF Gardner $20

Pitchers
Buehrle $9
Chen $10
Hernandez $38 - If inflation is 25%, you're sure not getting him back for 38. Seattle seems like they're moving in the right direction. I'd keep him, mileage may vary here.
A.Sanchez $32
Kuroda $23
Kazmir $10
Phelps $10
E.Ramirez $15
D.Salazar $13 - KEEP! KEEP!
Farquhar $12 - Keep, good closer value.

Thanks!

Keepers and notes in bold above.

Agree with all of Chances keepers.
I would be tempted to keep Ibanez and I may consider Gardner if your league is active with trading---having Villar, Elsbury and Gardner should let you trade to fix a draft shortcoming.

[Gregg]

Adding to Chancellor's list, I keep Kuroda at $23.

200 innings of good era and whip, 150ks makes him a keeper to me.

[joncarlos]

I'd prefer Anibal to Kuroda and 9 bucks. I would go big and keep Salazar, Felix and Anibal, plus I guess you have to keep Farqhuar though I have absolutely no faith in him. On offense I like Infante and I guess you have to keep Villar. I would think about Longoria too.

Why no love for Kazmir?

Why no love for Kazmir?

Once bitten, twice shy??? Hasn't everyone been bitten by him?

[Don Quixote]

Wow, no real bargains on that list, especially among the pitchers. I agree fully with chancellor's pitching picks, while among the hitters, I'm not sold on Infante at $8. I'd think about keeping Moss at $18, if you think the power will repeat, or Gardner at $20 to completely own the steals category with Villar, Ellsbury, and Gardner.

[chancellor]

DQ - Infante isn't fancy, but in a 12-team only league, he hasn't earned less than $10 in four years, and has earned mid to upper teens three of those four years.

[SlideRule]

I like Kazmir at $10. And Kuroda at $23.
