Team evaluation going in to an auction

[The Goat]

$260, 5x5 mixed league - one can keep up to 17 players.

Here's what I currently have slated to keep:


C Posada Jorge $6

1B Gonzalez Adrian $44
2B
SS Andrus Elvis $6
MI Desmond Ian $2
3B Beltre Adrian $17
CI Stewart Ian $6
OF Pierre Juan $3
OF
OF Young Chris $2
OF Young Delmon $6
OF
U Ortiz David $3

Hitting Salaries: 95 Percentage: 37%

P Johnson Josh $7
P Latos Mat $6
P Garcia Jaime $6

P Marmol Carlos $19
P Lyon Brandon $6
P Street Huston $9

Pitching Salaries: 53 Percantage: 20%


That's 16 keepers, but I'm thinking about dropping Beltre back in to the mix. Additional candidates for being kept are Angel Pagan at $12, Fausto Carmona at $6, Scott Kazmir at $7, Ryan Rayburn at $6, and Luke Scott at $7 (over David Ortiz at $3 - I cannot keep them both, as they both only qualify at DH). One of the reasons I'm thinking of tossing Beltre back is that he's not really much under value...and Pujols is no longer under contract as of this year's auction - he's gonna hit the auction table quickly. I don't want to be completely locked up at the corners and unable to bid on him.

I like your team. I am adding Rayburn to this list as a no brainer. I think I would drop Beltre for Pagan (and go after Pujols). I probably keep Ortiz and save the 4 bucks, but wouldn't argue keeping Scott for a better ba.

NO WAY do I keep Kazmir, let him wreck somebody elses numbers.

I wouldn't keep Kazmir at anything more than $1

How many teams?

Don't forget that Scott is going to play the OF this year, so he'll be pretty valuable after the 1st couple of weeks.
