This is the keeper/option list that I posted. The numbers indicate the round used to option the player....

[onejayhawk]

You're right. Only the change is in the post that you quoted. We are going from W, L, K, ERA, WHIP, Sv, Hld to QS, K, ERA, WHIP, K/BB, Sv, Hld.

[onejayhawk]

Why?

Last season Wheeler had a small edge in K/BB and QS/GS and he projects to have a small edge in K/BB again. If it's W or L, Woodruff...

[onejayhawk]

Our platform is up. Huzzah!

We are dropping W and L in favor of QS and K/BB. In light of that, I am leaning toward Jason's points on Wheeler....

[onejayhawk]

Perfect. That's exactly what I wanted to know....

I will also be looking but we have to declare keepers to know who will be available. That's where we are now. The draft won't start until early February....

[onejayhawk]

Thanks for the reply. I miss the days when I could trot Paul Goldschmidt out.

No one with an ADP below 100 will be available to me. I...

[onejayhawk]

Roughly the first of February we will declare keepers for our 16-team keeper league. I am 2x defending champion and want a first-ever hat trick.

This is a spin-off of a conversation about Brandon Marsh. I commented that Marsh and Cabrera were being drafted fairly close together. The reply was that...

[onejayhawk]

Wouldn't that be hit and miss baseballs?...

[onejayhawk]

He hits a ton, strikes out a ton, runs extremely well and play decent defense. Exciting is almost his middle name. But, he's only 21 and has never been...
